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?
