Oh no cannonball did fly no rifles cut us down. No bombs fell from the sky no blood soaked the ground. No powder flash blinded the eye no deathly thunder sounded. But just as sure as the hand of God. They brought death to my hometown. They brought death to my hometown. No shells ripped the evening sky no cities burning down. No armies stormed the shores for which we'd die. No dictators were crowned. I awoke from a quite night I never heard a sound. Marauders raided in the dark and. Brought death to my hometown. They brought death to my hometown. They destroyed our families' factories. And they took our homes. They left our bodies on the plains. The vultures picked our bones. Listen up my sonny boy be ready for when they come. For they'll be returning sure as the rising sun. Get yourself a song to sing and sing it 'til you're done. Yeah sing it hard and sing it well. Send the robber barons straight to hell. The greedy thieves who came around. And ate the flesh of everything they found. Whose crimes have gone unpunished now. Who walk the streets as free men now. Ah they brought death to our hometown. Death to our hometown. Death to our hometown. Death to our hometown hey!
