lyrics

THE OTHER SIDE / LIBERATION ROAD

We’ll see you on the other side
Scared and young and beautiful
Beneath a thunder sky
We’ll see you on the other side
Beneath a thunder sky
We’ll see you on the other side
The other side

Woodrow Speed put a bullet in his head
Flushing them out of the eagle’s nest
Kept on shooting then he laughed and said
We’re going all the way, like the wild, wild west
Took a jeep to the edge of town
They were dug in by the road and they took him down
He was crying for his mother as I watched him bleed
Just a piece fallen off the big machine

That rolls - rolls - rolls - down Liberation Road
That rolls – rolls – rolls - to liberation…

Eddy wasn’t one for putting on a show
A regular guy, an ordinary Joe with a rifle
And a 36 grenade
Lost count of the kills he made but
Man, you should’ve seen him run
Screaming like a banshee in the noonday sun
For a gentle guy he could be so mean
Just another cog in the big machine

All along the line they were singing – na na na

Sitting by the fire with both bars on
Wondering where the years have gone
No heros –you’ve got to understand
The medals on my chest hide a haunted man
And hey – it’s a new world now
It don’t care why and it don’t care how
Don’t want to hear ‘bout what I’ve seen
Too busy looking at the big machine

That rolls - rolls - rolls - down Liberation Road
That rolls – rolls – rolls - to liberation…
