CLASS OF '69

SOME OF US SAST SILENT WATCHING
ALL QUIET HERE ON THE SHORE
SOME OF US ASKED NO QUESTIONS
SOME ASKED "WHAT IS THIS FOR?"

SOME OF US CHOSE TO BE HEROES
SOME OF US CHOSE TO BE SAINTS
SOME OF US JUST DID A DIRTY JOB
AND ARE CALLED THING WHICH WE JUST AIN'T

SOME OF US SAT DOCILE AT SUNSET
SOME OF US WENT NORTH ALONE
SOME OF US WERE CALLED LUCKY
TOO MANY NEVER CAME HOME

SOME OF US HURT WHILE OUR KIN
TOO SOON WERE QUICKLY SHOT DOWN
SOME OF US ROSE UP IN ANGER
SOME OF US STILL LINGER AROUND

SOME OF US NEVER TOOK A STAND
SOME OF US NEVER GOT WELL
SOME OF US STILL DREAM OF HEAVEN
LOTS OF US STILL DWELL IN HELL

SOME OF US STILL DO REMEMBER
LOTS OF US WISH TO FORGET
SOME OF US WANDER QUITE LONELY
SOME UF US STILL NEVER QUITE GET

NEVER EVER HELD OUT HOPE

SOME OF US SAT SILENT WATCHING
SOME OF US STOOD UP ENRAGED
SOME OF US NEVER ASKED QUESTIONS
SOME OF US STILL ARE ENGAGED

SOME OF US CHOSE TO BE HEROES
