lyrics

You were a shadow
I was a child
Our family was hollow
Our house was white

Your father's life
Was cruel and hard
He avoided the stripes
To make you a star

So well-read
A mean of means
You filled your head
With the mightiest dreams

You were a photo
A man in a suit
A voice on the radio
Red, white, and blue

Oh the secrets of Jack
In the bosom of Mary
He's not going back
You'll have to carry on

You were the great hope
A coverboy
An American Pope
A government decoy

You were an eagle
He was a crook
You were the big screen
He was a book
Without any story
Without any pictures
Yeah he was so boring
So clinical, so cynical

You went to war
And came back alive
What did you fight for
If you had to die
In your own land?
I'm holding your cold hands

The tiniest missile
A family curse
Turning a limo
Into a hearse

Turning a hotel
Into a gallow
I'm getting older
You're still a shadow
