Text: Graham Nash. Oh! Camil (The Winter Soldier).
Oh, Camil, tell me how do you feel?
You fought for your country, for God and for war
Now your heart tells you that can't be real
So you tell me your story from beginning to end
All the blood and the guts and the gore
Will you tell all the people about the people you killed
Not for God but for country and war?
Oh, Camil, tell me what did your mother say?
When you left those people out in the fields
Rotting along with the hay
Did you show her your medals? Did you show her your guns?
Did you show her the ears that you wore?
Did you show her a picture of the people you killed
Not for God but for country and war?
Oh, Camil, tell me why are you in this place?
When you stood up for justice, your country replied
By throwing it back in your face
When you tell me your story
Are you makin' amends for all of the hatred you saw?
Will you tell all the people about the people that cry out for God
Not for country or war?
You fought for your country, for God and for war
Now your heart tells you that can't be real
So you tell me your story from beginning to end
All the blood and the guts and the gore
Will you tell all the people about the people you killed
Not for God but for country and war?
Oh, Camil, tell me what did your mother say?
When you left those people out in the fields
Rotting along with the hay
Did you show her your medals? Did you show her your guns?
Did you show her the ears that you wore?
Did you show her a picture of the people you killed
Not for God but for country and war?
Oh, Camil, tell me why are you in this place?
When you stood up for justice, your country replied
By throwing it back in your face
When you tell me your story
Are you makin' amends for all of the hatred you saw?
Will you tell all the people about the people that cry out for God
Not for country or war?
