The Hollow Men
They sleep but never do they dream
Angry men afraid of their own scream
What little they have they gladly share
With all their hearts so do they care
These are the broken men the hollow men
The thought after the prayer the soft amen
These are the broken men the hollow men
The huddled masses you have forgotten
Hopeless they are full of desire
Kindle awaiting a sacred fire
Ignored deplored the victims of hate
Soon is their moment just wait
Lies and truth we mix them so well
They offer heaven and deliver hell
It’s not the words but how they are uttered
It’s not the meal but that the bread is buttered
Come salute the flag and don the uniform
The streets are cold the barracks are warm
These are the broken men the hollow men
The thought after the prayer the soft amen
These are the broken men the hollow men
The huddled masses you have forgotten
Minds molded shaped as if they’re clay
For glory there is a price to pay
For the homeland we shall fight and kill
To our master we bend our will
These are the broken men the hollow men
The thought after the prayer the soft amen
These are the broken men the hollow men
The huddled masses you have forgotten
