Sing You Sinners

Maybe some lyrics instead? (from Thomas Anderson’s website, www.angryyounggradstudent.com/ ).  This will let you know how thoughtful his songs are.  

“Sing You Sinners” 

Well, the ghost of Audie Murphy

Stood upon the burning tank,

As if to show how Hollywood 

Turns the bullets into blanks,

And to reassure all the orphans

With the clothes burned off their backs,

That the privileged love the destitute

As long as they know how to act.

     Sing you sinners, sing,

     Beat your broken wings;

     Look up from the ashes

     Of your dreams.
