White Feather Lyrics

White Feather lyrics

When I hit the streets back in '81

Found a heart in the gutter and a poet's crown

I felt barbed wire kisses and icicle tears

Where have I been for all these years?



I saw political intrigue, political lies

Gonna wipe those smiles of self-satisfaction from their eyes



I will wear your white feather, I will carry your white flag

I will swear I have no nation but I'm proud to own my heart

I will wear your white feather, I will carry your white flag

I will swear I have no nation but I'm proud to own my heart

My heart, this is my heart



We don't need no uniforms, we have no disguise

Divided we stand, together we'll rise



We will wear your white feather all the children

We will carry your white flag

We will swear we have no nations Beirut children

But we're proud to own our hearts Jerusalem children



We will wear your white feather Tokyo children

We will carry your white flag Moscow children

We will swear we have no nations Washington children

But we're proud to own our hearts Munich children



These are our hearts Chicago children

These are our hearts Cairo children

You can't take away our hearts

You can't steal our hearts away



I can't walk away I can't walk away

No more, no more, no more, no more
