All she remembers is "I'll pledge allegiance to any flag they might offer." It sounds like some kind of protest song, maybe? She says she heard it on one of my albums. I've looked at the two I have of DS, but don't see any likely tracks. Thanks! |

them what you really feel. Teach the children quietly, and someday sons and daughters Will rise up and fight where we stood still. -- Mike and the Mechanics, "Silent Running" -Joe- |

Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? There's a gun and ammunition Just inside the doorway Use it only in emergency Better you should pray to god The father and the spirit Will guide you and protect from up here Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Swear allegiance to the flag Whatever flag they offer Never hint at what you really feel Teach the children quietly For some day sons and daughters Will rise up and fight while we stood still Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Can you hear me running (can you hear me calling you? ) (can you hear me) hear me calling you? (can you hear me running) hear me running babe? (can you hear me running) hear me running? Calling you, calling you |
