King Henry marched forth, a sword in his handTwo thousand horsemen all at his commandIn a fortnight the rivers ran red through the landThe year fifteen hundred and twentyThe year it is now nineteen sixty fiveIt's easier far to stay half aliveJust keep your mouth shut while the planes zoom and diveTen thousand miles over the oceanSimon was drafted in sixty threeIn sixty four, sent over the seaLast month this letter he sent to meHe said, You won't like what I'm sayingHe said, We've no friends here, no hardly a oneWe've got a few generals who just want our gunsBut it will take more than that if we're ever to winWhy, we'll have to flatten the countryIt's my own troops I have to watch out for, he saidI sleep with a pistol right under my headHe wrote this last month, last week he was deadAnd Simon came home in a casketI mind my own business, I watch my TVComplain about taxes but pay anywayIn a civilized manner my forefathers betrayWho long ago struggled for freedomBut each day a new headline screams at my bluffOn TV some general says we must be toughIn my dreams I stare at this family I loveAll gutted and spattered with napalmKing Henry marched forth, a sword in his handTwo thousand horsemen all at his commandIn a fortnight the rivers ran red through the landThe year fifteen hundred and twentyThe year it is now nineteen sixty fiveIt's easier far to stay half aliveJust keep your mouth shut while the planes zoom and diveTen thousand miles over the ocean
