Songs Title:to see a friend in tears[00:03:38]
So men are still at war in this land[00:03:38]
For certain songs and certain dates[00:03:38]
The tender gave way to the firebrand[00:03:38]
And Europe gave way to the States[00:03:38]
So now that money's all but scentless[00:03:38]
Noses and consciences are clear[00:03:38]
The pointless flowers can be dispensed with[00:03:38]
To see a friend in tears[00:03:38]
So our defeats are just reminders[00:03:38]
Of death that waits behind it all[00:03:38]
The body wilts before the mind does[00:03:38]
Surprised to see how soon it falls[00:03:38]
It's true our women have deceived us[00:03:38]
All hunted species disappear[00:03:38]
It's true we've shot the golden eagles[00:03:38]
To see a friend in tears[00:03:38]
It's true our cities are exhausted[00:03:38]
Made by and for the middle aged[00:03:38]
Our weakness gave them more than force did[00:03:38]
We thought that love could cure a toothache[00:03:38]
And in the underground we're drowning[00:03:38]
Accelerating through the years[00:03:38]
You think you'll find the truth by frowning[00:03:38]
To see a friend in tears[00:03:38]
It's true our mirrors don't show heroes[00:03:38]
We lack the courage to be Jews[00:03:38]
Without the elegance of Africa[00:03:38]
With our youthful fireworks all defused[00:03:38]
And all these men who are our brothers[00:03:38]
Wonder why we don't want to hear[00:03:38]
How their worst enemies are their lovers[00:03:38]
To see a friend in tears[00:03:38]
