Requiem for a Dying Song lyrics

There's a government whip cracked across your back
Where the order of the day is "Don't listen, attack"
See the blood run down in your bushwhacked town
Revolution is the gimmick of a jokeless clown
Another volley's just the ammo for the taxman's gun
 
Talk, don't talk if you've nothin' to say
Walk, don't walk if your feet don't know the way
 
In requiem for a dying song
Hear the shimmy and the shake from a futile war
With the sun that lights the day
Brings the darkness and the prize of another great shame
But with you, my love, with you, my love
With you I will return
In requiem for a dying song
 
Grab the barrel by the face, shoot the order, release
Shove the bullet in your pocket, turn away and retreat
See the terror in the eye of a bloodshot child
Only rubble in his belly and the promise of lies
Operation liberation, tell me you can decide
 
Oh, talk, don't talk if you've nothing to say
Walk, don't walk if your feet don't know the way
 
In requiem for a dying song
Hear the shimmy and the shake from a futile war
With the sun that lights the day
Brings the darkness and the prize of another great shame
But with you, my love, with you, my love
With you I will return
In requiem for a dying song
 
Agony from every corner, on every street
Ignite their loss of self, with their bitterness explode
Explode...
 
There's a government whip cracked across your back
Where the order of the day is "Don't listen, attack"
 
Talk, don't talk if you've nothin' to say
Walk, don't walk if your feet don't know the way
 
In requiem for a dying song
Hear the shimmy and the shake from a futile war
With the sun that lights the day
Brings the darkness and the prize of another great shame
But with you, my love, with you, my love
With you I will return
In requiem for a dying song
 
With you, my love
With you I will return
In requiem for a dying song
