The Body Electric

Said you're gonna shoot me down, put my body in the river
 Shoot me down, put my body in the river
 While the whole world sings, sing it like a song
 The whole world sings like there's nothing going wrong
 He shot her down, put her body in the river
 He covered her up, but I went to get her
 And I said, "My girl, what happened to you now?"
 I said, "My girl, we gotta stop it somehow"
 Oh, tell me, what's a man with a rifle in his hand
 Gonna do for a world that's so sick and sad?
 Tell me, what's a man with a rifle in his hand
 Gonna do for a world that's so gone mad?
 He's gonna shoot me down, put my body in the river
 Cover me up with the leaves of September
 Like an old sad song, you heard it all before
 Well, Delia's gone, but I'm settling the score
 So tell me, what's a man with a rifle in his hand
 Gonna do for a world that's just dying slow?
 Tell me, what's a man with a rifle in his hand
 Gonna do for his daughter when it's her turn to go?
