Mr. Nelson Songtext
von Swamp Thing

What is better, black or white?
What is the day without the night?
Are you prepared to fight for what is right? Oh yeah
Locked you away for so long
Woah, but your will was strong
Took them years to understand
That the will of one man
Could be mightier than all the armies in the land

For a soldier in a war for truth
Can eventually win
For sisters and brothers
Mothers, fathers, lovers, everyone

Mr. Nelson, won′t you take them home?
Mr. Nelson, won't you take them home?
Mr. Nelson, won′t you take them home? Mmm

You were thrown into the lion's den
But with the courage of a thousand men
Not just a man, but a legend
Yeah, you was


For a soldier in a war for truth
Can eventually win
For sisters and brothers
Mothers and fathers, lovers, everyone

Mr. Nelson, won't you take them home?
Mr. Nelson, won′t you take them home?
Mr. Nelson, woah, won′t you take 'em home?
Take ′em home

Took a man with a great big heart
Who was prepared to play his part
Up against the system right from the start
Yeah, he was

For a soldier in a war for truth
Can eventually win
Sisters and brothers
Mothers, fathers, lovers, everyone

Mr. Nelson, won't you take them home?
Mr. Nelson, won′t you take them home?
Mr. Nelson, woah, won't you take ′em home? Woah
Mr. Nelson, won't you take them home?
Mr. Nelson, won't you take them home?
Mr. Nelson, won′t you take ′em home?


Won't you take ′em home?
Mr. Nelson, take 'em home
