Handsome Johnny Lyrics - Finally The Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid 1983-1988 - Flaming Lips

Hey, look yonder, tell me what's that you see 

Marching to the fields of Concord? 

Looks like Handsome Johnny with a musket in his hand 

Marching to the Concord war, hey, marching to the Concord war 

Hey, look yonder, tell me what's that you see 

Marching to the fields of Gettysburg? 

Looks like Handsome Johnny with a flintlock in his hand 

Marching to the Gettysburg war, hey, marching to the Gettysburg war 

Hey, it's a long hard road, it's a long hard road 

It's a long hard road, hey, before we'll be free 

Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see 

Marching to the fields of Dunkirk? 

Looks like Handsome Johnny with a carbine in his hand 

Marching to the Dunkirk war, hey, marching to the Dunkirk war 

Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see 

Marching to the fields of Korea? 

Looks like Handsome Johnny with an M1 in his hand 

Marching to the Korean war, hey, marching to the Korean war 

Hey, it's a long hard road, it's a long hard road 

It's a long hard road, hey, before we'll be free 

Hey, before we'll be free 

Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see 

Marching to the fields of Vietnam? 

Looks like Handsome Johnny with an M15 

Marching to the Vietnam war, hey, marching to the Vietnam war 

Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see 

Marching to the fields of Birmingham? 

Looks like Handsome Johnny with his hand rolled in a fist 

Marching to the Birmingham war, hey, marching to the Birmingham war 

Hey, what's the use of singing this song 

Some of you are not even listening 

Tell me what it is we've got to do, wait for our fields to start glistening 

Hey, wait for the bullets to start whistling 

Hey, here comes a hydrogen bomb and here comes a guided missile 

Here comes a hydrogen bomb, I can almost hear its whistle 

I can almost hear its whistle
