Brother Did You Weep Lyrics


Ewan Maccoll Brother Did You Weep

Disc of sun in the belching smoke
Blazing huts where children choke
Burning flesh and blackened blood
Charred and blistered like smould'ring wood

Oh brother,oh brother did you weep?
Oh brother,oh brother can you sleep?

Wall-eyed moon in the wounded night
Touching poisoned fields with blight
Showing a ditch where a died girls lies
Courted by ants and hungry flies
Oh brother,oh brother did you weep?
Oh brother,oh brother can you sleep?

Scream of pain on the morning breeze
Thunder of bombs in the grove of trees
Hymn of rubble and powderеd stone
Anguished flesh and splintеred bone

Oh brother,oh brother did yoou weep?
Oh brother,oh brother can you sleep?

Programmed war,efficiency team
Punch cards fed to thinking machines:
Computer death and the Murder Plan
Total destruction of Vietnam

Oh brother,oh brother did you weep?
Oh brother,oh brother can you sleep?
