All down one street, side by side
Live all the sad old exiles
They fled from war to the shore
Of hell
Not one salutes the former chief
Who suffered the most and salvaged least
Head of state, potentate
Well you see, that was me, yes it was
Soul boy is down the street
Perching on cloven feet
Playing a song of woe
Says: Give up your soul
I think they hold me to blame
But I only filled some empty graves
It had to be, it was them or me
And you know which way I chose
Soul boy is down the street
Perching on cloven feet
Playing a song of woe
Says: Give up your soul
Listen to me, little man
Being an ex-furer not so bad
Marvin Gaye, Marvin Gaye
Well you see, he's gone away
Yes he has
Soul boy has gone to war
And no-one dares ask what for
He's doomed and he's white and mean
Imagine - He laughed at me
Now be ever so humble
There's no place like home
When your home's now a graveyard
And you're broke and alone
And you're out of the family of woman and man
