Lyrics for Did You Hear What They Said?
Did you hear what they said? Did you hear what they said? Did you hear what they said? They said another brother's dead They said he's dead, but he can't be buried They said he's dead, but he can't be buried Come on, come on, come on, come on This can't be real Did you hear what they said? Did you hear what they said? Did you hear what they said? They said, they shot him in his head A shot in the head to save his country A shot in the head, to save his country Hey, come on, come on, come on, come on This can't be real Did you hear what they said? Yeah, did you hear what they said? Did you hear what they said About his mother and how she cried? They said she cried 'cause her only son was dead They said she cried 'cause her only son was dead Woman, could you imagine if your only son was dead And somebody told you, he couldn't be buried Hey, come on, come on, come on, come on This can't be real
