lyrics

let's paint a vietnam on a wall in a room where they build a bomb
we'll know that it's carrying when it falls down upon some nation
endless couples marrying in a second summer of love

then when the troops come we'll go along in the flash of the beating drum
wearing masks and showering happy symbolic friendly paper
hopeful people flowering in a sunshine daydream

on a lawn in south kenosha
you were lisa and I was dave
or were you ruth and was I moshe
living in a cave

I don't know where I am
someone call the gendarmes
all I see are farms
where are the buildings all the tanks the missiles
are those soldiers falling

on a lawn in south kenosha
you were lisa and I was dave
or were you ruth and was I moshe
trying to choose which kid to save
on a lawn in south michigan
or wisconsin I don't know which
you were lisa and I was dave
living in a cave
