Song:   Did You Hear What They Said?
Typed by: AZ Lyrics

Did you hear what they said
Did you hear what they said
Did you hear what they said
They said another brother's dead
They said he's dead...but he can't be buried
They said he's dead...but he can't be buried
Come on, come on, come on, come on
this can't be real

Did you hear what they said
Did you hear what they said
Did you hear what they said
They said, they shot him in his head
a shot in the head to save his country
a shot in the head to save his country
Come on, come on, come on, come on
this can't be real

Did you hear what they said
Yeah did you hear what they said
Did you hear what they said
About his mother and how she cried
They said she cried, 'cause her only son was dead
They said she cried, 'cause her only son was dead
Woman, could you imagine if your only son was dead
And somebody told you, he couldn't be buried
hey, hey, come on, come on, come on, come on
this can't be real
