John Wesley Harding - Kill the Messenger lyrics



The messenger came with bad news from the front

Said "the soldiers are starving and their swords are all blunt

They need a show of support or some futile sign

Thats what they told me to tell you, not even the words are mine..."

The messenger came with bad news from the war

Said "the fine young men forgot who they were fighting for

They dont wanna be stars on your tv screen

Thats the general feeling, please dont blame it on me"

And the people said "one and one is two

Theres nothing left for us to do

But since we can blame it all on you

We will kill the messenger"

The messenger came with bad news from the town

Said "the phone-lines are on strike and the doormen are all down

Theyve turned your den of thieves into a temple

They need someone of stature to set them an example"

And the people said "two and two is four

Dont tell us anymore

We all know the score

We must kill the messenger"

Someone brought the news to the messengers folks

He said "your sons been killed two times"

They said "is that a joke? "

He said "no

He was he victim of ignorant minds

I hate to bring such bad news, please dont think me unkind"

And the family said "one and one is two

Theres nothing left for us to do

But since youre here and we can blame it on you

We will kill the messenger

So if you want to send a message...
