GREEN HAND

written by Anne E. DeChant

Hey young man 
with the green hand
Will you fight for this land 
and your mother
Hey young man 
with the gentle hand
We will wipe away tears 
and we'lll justify fears
in a fight for this land

Take a knife take a gun 
Take a walk  take a run 
Take a ride on
the badge you wear
Tuck your shirt Fix your tie 
Look at this oh my my
What a man you've become

So it goes no one knows
the lies he's told or 
the things that he's done
Apple pie sparkling eyes
Cut off at the thigh
Wheeling around on a ground 
that he should have 
been running on...

Hey old man with a fist that 
was an open hand and a belief 
in a lovely land you'd give
Vacant eyes and useless tries
at fitting in a land 
that was your country

Lose your job lose your wife 
Lose your meaning in life
Take a ride on the drug you buy
Walk the streets grow your hair 
feeling nobody cares
What a man you've become...

Wash your shirt get a tie
Look at this oh my my
What a man you've become
