Eric Burdon - Memorial Day lyrics

We've all been dehumanized A generation of the same old lies Security is the alibi We lose a day in the cycle of life Evolution of your fellow man Going around circles in the desert sand We lose the loved ones protecting us It's just another day Chorus: On this memorial day The hippies and the poets and the Spartans say Forget the reasons why we war This is the season we've been waiting for Memorial day It's a rich man's war but the poor will pay Since the logic never comes to mind Innocence is lost and guilt will fade in time You turn around to face your d**h You wish your mother could be there To share your last breath Another good one has gone down And we mourn the lost Chorus Turn on your TV, watch a movie and lay back Pollute your mind you're next in line Insanity is just a matter of time Chorus On memorial day Be strong, let peace be the way Break the cycle of hate and lies Let the truth be realized Memorial day...memorial day!
