The Loved Ones - Dear Laura lyrics

Mayday, mayday, what was the story? Mayday, holiday here in the sun It's martial law under a false sense of glory National security under their thumb The thing he's taught us is how it feels to be left out Mayday, mayday, tell me your story Who's gonna save the day? We're under the gun We'll sit and watch at the mortuary We'll sit and watch the blind, deaf and dumb The thing he's taught us is how it feels to be left out Another phantom foe for him to fight while we sit here in doubt I doubt if he thought he'd ever get half as far in life I wonder if he laughs about it late night with his wife I wonder if she prays for every family torn apart I wonder if he burned their bodies, she would eat their hearts Dear Laura, will you eat our bleeding hearts? Mayday, mayday Mayday, mayday We'll sit and watch, blind, deaf and dumb Deaf and dumb The thing he's taught us is how it feels to be left out Another phantom foe for him to fight while we sit here in We sit here in doubt I doubt if he thought he'd ever get half as far in life I wonder if he laughs about it late night with his wife I wonder if she prays for every family torn apart I wonder if he burned their bodies, she would eat their hearts
