Oh, been feeling so cold. Oh, been feeling so cold. Oh I still own all of my soul, but everything else of mine’s been sold. Oh, been feeling so cold. Oh, been feeling so cold.
Oh, I tell you no lies. Oh, I tell you no lies. Well, we told ourselves when those kids were dying, oh we had no other choice, ‘cause the evil they was hiding. Oh, I tell you no lies. oh, I tell you no lies.
Oh, now my fingers so thin. Oh, now my fingers so thin. Well, I had so many fine friends back then, when
the war it had me killing evil women and men. Oh, now my fingers so thin. Oh, my fingers so thin.
And oh, I fought in that war. Oh, I fought in that war! Well she died in her living room, screaming what for, I shot that old woman and she fell to the floor, and oh, I fought in that war. Oh, I fought in that war!
And oh, I won lots of medals. Oh, I won lots of medals. Yeah, ground them children yeah into the gravel and I watched those big old cities being leveled and oh, I won lots of medals. Oh, I won lots of medals.
But oh, when I came home. Oh, when I came home. Came home called a savior but left all alone, waking up every night still a’ hearing their moans, and oh, when I came home. Oh, when I came home.
And oh, it’s the truth, they will say. Oh, it’s the truth they will say: well, we made big money by the war in those days, and we never let poor kids get in our way, no, oh, it’s the truth, they will say. Oh, it’s the truth they will say!
But oh, I’ve been asking the old. Oh, I’ve been asking the old. Many poor fight and die in these rich folks’ wars but never heard of no poor getting rich folks’ gold. Oh, I’ve been asking the old. Oh, I’ve been
asking the old.

"Without worship, a person shrinks." This song, and this whole album, helps to bring "life to these bones" and helps me to know how wide, and high, and deep is the love of God. Thanks. Robert Buck
