In Memoriam
Lyricist:Darin Bobby
He's a ruthless opportunist And he motivates by greed He's just the way his father was And that we sure don't need
So they all cried out, 'Destroy him For he wants to see us drowned' They never understood him So they put him in the ground
Now some had stood for hours And some sat on the grass Listening to their radios For where the train had passed
And a crowd will get impatient As the clock hands turn around They never understood him So they put him in the ground
They handed out some candles To the somber, weary crowd And told us not to light them Till our eyes beheld the shroud
Not even at that moment Could there be tranquility I could feel them push and argue 'Hey, sit down, I cannot see'
They never understood him So they put him in the ground
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com When the fathers closed their bibles And the family left the site The ropes and walls and hedges Kind of faded in the night
Replaced by all the people Who made a prayerful sound They never understood him So they put him in the ground
Some people say the eighth of June But the morning of the ninth The workmen gently lowered him By the beam of three work lights
Easy, take it easy Set him down real slow He'd been on some rougher trips But he couldn't tell them so
They never understood him So they put him in the ground
Now no man has the answers And he was just a man And yet I can't help feelin' That he knew a better plan
A shorter road to justice On the trip that's freedom bound But they never understood him So they put him in the ground
