Hurray For The Riff Raff - The Body Electric Lyrics
Said you're gonna shoot me down, put my body in the riverShoot me down, PUT MY BODY IN THE RIVERWhile the whole world sings, sing it like a songThe whole world sings like there's nothing going wrongHe shot her down, he put her body in the riverHe covered her up but I WENT TO GET HERAnd I said, "My girl, what happened to you now?"I said, "My girl, we gotta stop it somehow"Oh, and tell me what's a man with a rifle in his handGonna do for a world that's so sick and sad?Tell me what's a man with a rifle in his handGonna do for a world that's so gone mad?He's gonna shut me down, put my body in the riverCove me up with the leaves of SeptemberLike an old sad song, you heard it all beforeWell, Bill is gone but I'm settling the scoreOh, and tell me what's a man with a rifle in his handGonna do for a world that's just dying slow?Tell me what's a man with a rifle in his handGonna do for his daughter when it's her turn to go?
