Текст песни: John Brown + перевод

I didn’t know that we were killer angels

I didn’t care about the war machine

I was only trying to feel American

I was only trying to be like you

Well I didn’t know about old John Brown

They build you up just to tear you down

Now you’re never gonna see the ocean

No, you’re never gonna be a man

'ey!

Burn burn, burn the flag down

Do it in the name of that old John Brown

No matter how they turn it around

Ain’t gonna quit 'til I’m dyin', lyin' down

Whoever said the dead tell no tales

Ring it back up when the living goes stale

Still, you’re never gonna whisper hatred

No, you’re never gonna whisper love

The blood of the man becomes the blood of the children

The blood of the child becomes the blood of the land

Now you’re never gonna be American

No, you’re never gonna be a man

Burn burn, burn the flag down

Do it in the name of that old John Brown

No matter how they turn it around

Ain’t gonna quit 'til I’m dyin', lyin' down

Don’t wanna be no modern man

And turn a blind eye to the blood in your hands

How much longer 'til you see the ocean?

How much longer 'til you’ll be a man?

'ey!

Burn burn, burn the flag down

Do it in the name of that old John Brown

No matter how they turn it around

Ain’t gonna quit 'til I’m dyin', lyin' down
