Dear Laura

Mayday, mayday, what was the story?

Mayday, holiday here in the sun

It's martial law under a false sense of glory

National security under their thumb

The thing he's taught us is how it feels to be left out

Mayday, mayday, tell me your story

Who's gonna save the day?

We're under the gun

We'll sit and watch at the mortuary

We'll sit and watch blind, deaf and dumb

The thing he's taught us is how it feels to be left out

Another phantom foe for him to fight while we sit here in doubt

[Chorus]

I doubt if he ever thought he'd get half as far in life

I wonder if he laughs about it late night with his wife

I wonder if she prays for every family torn apart

I wonder if he burned their bodies, she would eat their hearts

Dear Laura, will you eat our bleeding hearts?

Mayday, mayday

Mayday, mayday

We'll sit and watch, blind, deaf and dumb

Deaf and dumb

The thing he's taught us is how it feels to be left out

Another phantom foe for him to fight while we sit here in

We sit here in doubt

[Chorus]
