YOUR FATHER FILLS COFFINS

Your father fills coffins,

That's why he is not here.

He does it for you,

So you may live without fear.

Your father fills coffins,

More or less in the way,

Of cowboys and coppers,

In these modern days.

{chorus}

Everything in life,

Must come with a price;

Others have it nice,

While some sacrifice.

This is a life,

And it comes at a price.

Your father fills coffins,

From way up in the air,

With bombs and with bullets,

Like he just doesn't care.

Doesn't have to see the faces,

Doesn't have to hear their cries.

Your father fills coffins,

With rockets from the skies.

{repeat chorus}

Your father fills coffins,

And that's the way it is,

Then he goes out drinking,

So he can deal with all this.

Gets up every day to save the world

From going up in a flame.

Your father fills coffins,

With those who do the same.

{repeat chorus}

Your father fills coffins,

For better or worse,

That's why he is not here,

He knows that it hurts.

Your father fills coffins,

Nearly every single day,

Your father fills coffins,

You might do the same...
