Ewan MacColl — Brother Did You Weep

Disc of sun in the belching smoke Blazing huts where children choke Burning flesh and blackened blood Charred and blistered like smould'ring wood Oh brother,oh brother did you weep? Oh brother,oh brother can you sleep? Wall-eyed moon in the wounded night Touching poisoned fields with blight Showing a ditch where a died girls lies Courted by ants and hungry flies Oh brother,oh brother did you weep? Oh brother,oh brother can you sleep? Scream of pain on the morning breeze Thunder of bombs in the grove of trees Hymn of rubble and powderеd stone Anguished flesh and splintеred bone Oh brother,oh brother did yoou weep? Oh brother,oh brother can you sleep? Programmed war,efficiency team Punch cards fed to thinking machines: Computer death and the Murder Plan Total destruction of Vietnam Oh brother,oh brother did you weep? Oh brother,oh brother can you sleep?
