Everywhere Lyrics
The song Everywhere is performed by Billy Bragg in the album named Volume 2 in the year 2006 .
Dig in boys for an extended stay
Those were the final orders to come down that day
Waiting to be saved in the Philippines
You'll wait forever for the young Marines
Now I believe to be here is right
But I have to say that I'm scared tonight
Crouching in this hole with a mouth full of sand
What comes first
the country or the man
Look at those slanted eyes coming up over the hill
Catching us by suprise
it's time to kill or be killed
Over here
over there
it's the same everywhere
A boy cries out for his mama before he dies for his home
All my life I wanted to be
As clever and strong as my best friend Lee
We grew up together along half Moon Bay
Lee was Japanese
born in the USA
When Tommy was fighting Jerry along the River Seine
Me and Lee we wanted to do the same
Then they bombed Pearl Harbor at the break of day
I was headed for these islands when Lee was hauled away
They said look at his slanted eyes
he's guilty as guilty can be
Sent here as enemy spies to sabotage the Land of the Free
I never got home
my platoon was never saved
That little fox hole became my island grave
Lee got out of jail but a prisoner he remained
Till he ended his own life to lose that ball and chain
And they said
Oh Little Slanted Eyes
can't you forgive and forget
And he said
Oh Mr Friendly Ghost
Can you catch water in a net?
