The Beat Of Black Wings-Joni Mitchell

　　　 Artist：joni mitchell Songs Title：the beat of black wings I met a young soldier He said his name was killer kyle He was shakin all over Like a night-frightened child This is his story Its a tough one for me to sing Hard as the squawk and the flap And the beat of--the beat of black wings They gave me a gun, he said They gave me a mission For the power and the glory-- Propaganda--piss on em Theres a war zone inside me-- I can feel things exploding-- I can't even hear the f**king music playing For the beat of--the beat of black wings. He said, I never had nothin-- Nothin I could believe in My girl killed our unborn child Without even grievin! I put my hands on her belly To feel the kid kickin--damn! Shed been to some clinic Oh--the beat of black wings. They want you--they need you-- They train you to kill-- To be a pin on some map-- Some vicarious thrill-- The old hate the young Thats the whole heartless thing The old pick the wars We die in em To the beat of--the beat of black wings. Theres a man drawing pictures On the sidewalk with chalk Just as fast as he draws em Rain come down and wash em off Keep the drinks comin girl Til i can't feel anything I'm just a chalk mark in a rainstorm I'm just the beat of black wings.
