White Boots Marching In A Yellow Land (Album Version) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)[00:00:00]
The pilot's playing poker in the cockpit of the plane[00:00:03]
The casualties are rising like the dropping of rain[00:00:08]
And the mountain of machinery will fall before a man[00:00:15]
When your white boots marching in a yellow land[00:00:20]
It's written in the ashes of the village towns we burn[00:00:28]
It's written in the empty bed of the fathers unreturned[00:00:33]
And the chocolate in the children's eyes will never understand[00:00:39]
When you're white boots marching in a yellow land[00:00:45]
Red blow the bugles of the dawn[00:00:52]
The morning has arrived you must be gone[00:00:57]
And the lost patrol chase their chartered souls[00:01:02]
Like cold whores following tired armies[00:01:06]
Train them well the men who will be fighting by your side[00:01:17]
And never turn your back if the battle turns the tide[00:01:22]
For the colors of a civil war are louder than commands[00:01:28]
When you're white boots marching in a yellow land[00:01:34]
Blow them from the forest and burn them from your sight[00:01:42]
Tie their hands behind their back and question through the night[00:01:48]
But when the firing squad is ready [00:01:54]
They'll be spitting where they stand[00:01:57]
At the white boots marching in a yellow land[00:02:00]
Red blow the bugles of the dawn[00:02:07]
The morning has arrived you must be gone[00:02:12]
And the lost patrol chase their chartered souls[00:02:17]
Like cold whores following tired armies[00:02:22]
The comic and the beauty queen are dancing on the stage[00:02:32]
Raw recruits are lining up like coffins in a cage[00:02:38]
We're fighting in a war we lost before the war began[00:02:44]
We're the white boots marching in a yellow land[00:02:50]
And the lost patrol chase their chartered souls[00:03:07]
Like cold whores following tired armies[00:03:12]
