Green Hand - Anne E. DeChant ©1991
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’ll 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
Give your hand to this land give your might to the fight
Sail away on the flag we bear
Tuck your shirt fix your tie look at this oh my my
What a man you’ve become
So it goes no one knows
Lies he’s told or things that he’s done
Apple pie sparkling eyes cut off at the thigh
Wheeling around on a ground he shoulda been running on
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
Give your hand to this land give your might to the fight
Sail away on the flag we bear
Tuck your shirt fix your tie look at this oh my my
What a man you’ve become
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
Take a knife take a gun take a walk take a run
Take a ride in the badge you wear
Wash your shirt get a tie look at this oh my my
What a man you’ve become
