Soldier Blue - Julian Cope

Because I know what you did, and I’m proud to admit it

I was out in the street, I was strangely committed

To my left, to my right, on all fours and forsaken

On your hind legs you beat us

And I hope that you’re proud, Soldier Blue

«That's another big problem

People can’t separate the authorities and the people who have the authority

vested in them

I think you see a lot of that in the demonstrations

Because they have that concept

That the war and the law enforcement are one

It’s actually the people demonstrating

Demonstrating at the police department

Actually against policemen…»

I know what you did, and I’m proud to admit it

I was out in the street, I was strangely committed

To my left, to my right, on all fours and forsaken

On your hind legs you beat us

And I hope that you’re proud, Soldier Blue

«…Wanted law enforcement

Guys are fighting

They’re very fundable

They go to light the craphouse

And you see I can’t do it 'cause I do business with these assholes…

And it looks bad for me you know uh…

So I want somebody to do it for me ya know

So I tell ya what…

Here’s a stick and a gun and you do it

But wait 'til I’m outta the room

But wait 'til I’m outta the room.»

Because I know what you did, and I’m proud to admit it

I was out in the street, I was strangely committed

To my left, to my right, on all fours and forsaken

On your hind legs you beat us

And I hope that you’re proud, Soldier Blue

And I hope that you’re proud, Soldier Blue
