Did You Hear What They Said? (Alt take 1)
Did you hear what they said?
Tell me, did you hear what they said?
Did you hear what they said?
They said another brother's dead
They said he's dead, but he can't be buried
They said he's dead, but he can't be buried
Hey now, come on, come on, come on, come on
This can't be real
Did you hear what they said?
Tell me, did you hear what they said?
Did you hear what they said?
They said, they shot him in his head
A shot in the head to save his country
A shot in the head, Lord, to save his country
Hey now, come on, come on, come on, come on
This can't be real
Did you hear what they said?
Yeah, did you hear what they said?
Did you hear what they said
Lord, about his mother and how she cried?
They said she cried 'cause her only son was dead
Woman, could you imagine if your only son was dead
Could you imagine if your only son was dead
And somebody told you, hey, he couldn't be buried
Wouldn't you say, come on, come on, come on, come on
This can't be real
Tell me, did you hear what they said?
Did you hear what they said?
They said another brother's dead
They said he's dead, but he can't be buried
They said he's dead, but he can't be buried
Hey now, come on, come on, come on, come on
This can't be real
Did you hear what they said?
Tell me, did you hear what they said?
Did you hear what they said?
They said, they shot him in his head
A shot in the head to save his country
A shot in the head, Lord, to save his country
Hey now, come on, come on, come on, come on
This can't be real
Did you hear what they said?
Yeah, did you hear what they said?
Did you hear what they said
Lord, about his mother and how she cried?
They said she cried 'cause her only son was dead
Woman, could you imagine if your only son was dead
Could you imagine if your only son was dead
And somebody told you, hey, he couldn't be buried
Wouldn't you say, come on, come on, come on, come on
This can't be real
