The Gutters Run Red
The Gutters Run Red
The gutters run red with the blood of the dead,
yes Fred red with the blood of the dead.
The gutters run red with the blood of the dead,
yes Fred red with the blood of the dead.
You give your boys toys,
yes toys of construction,
but what do they make,
hu-gh, toys of destruction.
That's why the gutters run red with the blood of the dead,
yes Fred red with the blood of the dead.
You there sir, no you don't even stir,
while folks are dying and children are crying,
no more, please no more of this hell awful war.
That's why the gutters run red with the blood of the dead,
yes Fred red with the blood of the dead.
And you there ma'am no you don't give a damn,
you sit there and snigger while children get rigor,
rigor mortis that is.
That's why the gutters run red with the blood of the dead,
yes fred red with the blood of the dead.
The gutters run red with the blood of the dead,
yes Fred red with the blood of the dead.
