Got struck by the first volley of the war in the courts Never held my service Send 'em a wire, give 'em my best, this ammunition never rests No one serves coffee, no one wakes up Stop breathin, stop breathin Breathin for me now Write it on a postcard Dad, they broke me, dad, they broke me Stop breathin, stop breathin Breathin for me now Write it on a postcard Dad, they broke me, dad, they broke me I can see the lines, open shutters, and the leaves flocked on a grid That's what they made my hero say But nothing gets me off so completely than when you put it down ten feet down in the ground Call and response, negative hope Stop breathin, stop breathin Breathin for me now Write it on a postcard Dad, they broke me, dad, they broke me Stop breathin, stop breathin Breathin for me now Write it on a postcard Dad, they broke me, dad, they broke me
