Give A Damn

Intro: verse 1 When I was young, I joined the march And sang 'The Long Way Down' There's photos of me carrying My banner into town And though it was a lonely path The bomb we had to ban I had a dream, I wanted one I didn't give a damn verse 2 I met the girl who's with me still One festival in spring We loved the tunes we loved the words We loved to stand and sing We followed Bob, we followed Paul We followed with a pram The times they were a-changin’ And we didn't give a damn verse 3 Then somewhere in the Seventies The time just passed us by We voted left, but shifted right And Bob found god on high The mortgage and the office and The rush hour traffic jam We chased that golden promise And we didn't give a damn verse 4 The Eighties, god bless Maggie Well, the Eighties they were fine We re-discovered Paul And saw the unions brought in line The British won the Falklands war Who needed Uncle Sam? We waved our flags and cheered our lads And didn't give a damn Verse 5 I'm sixty now, and so's the wife Our soldier son was free He did his bit, he did us proud We watched him march in line We saw him get his medal Saw him smile at his old man we were so proud he was our son We didn't give a damn VERSE 6 Then came that bloody murderer The fool they call Hussein To think that he would call our bluff The man was quite insane And our lad, he went after him We got a telegram Friendly fire, they said it was And now who gives a damn? VERSE 7 When I was young, I joined the march And sang 'The Long Way Down' There's photos of me carrying My banner into town But somewhere down that lonely path From then, to who I am I lost my dream, I lost my son Too late to give a damn ENJOY...
