Battle Hymn of the Album Songtext
von Todd Snider

They say get down on the ground
They say get down on the ground
They say get down on the ground
They say get down on the ground

Stop resisting, stop resisting
Get down on the ground
They say get down on the ground
But you can′t stop this resistance
Nowhere to go now but the distance

John Brown's body may be dead and gone (John Brown′s body may be dead and gone)
John Brown soldiers still marching on (John Brown soldiers still marching on)
John Brown's body may be dead and gone (John Brown's body may be dead and gone)
John Brown soldiers still marching on (John Brown soldiers still marching on)


I′ve been singing this song
Since I don′t know when
I never get tired
I could sing it again

They got the sound off
One, two (one, two)
They got the sound off
Three, four (three, four)
You gotta sing a little louder than you did before

So, John Brown's body may be dead and gone (John Brown′s body may be dead and gone)
John Brown soldiers still marching on (John Brown soldiers still marching on)
John Brown's body may be dead and gone (John Brown′s body may be dead and gone)
John Brown soldiers still marching on (John Brown soldiers still marching on) Yeah!

John Brown's body may be dead and gone (John Brown′s body may be dead and gone)
But John Brown soldiers still marching on (John Brown soldiers still marching on)
John Brown's body may be dead and gone (John Brown's body may be dead and gone)
John Brown soldiers still marching on (John Brown soldiers still marching on)

John Brown′s body may be dead and gone (John Brown′s body may be dead and gone)
But John Brown soldiers still marching on (John Brown soldiers still marching on)
