Notes
Cairo Walls (Purdy, Joe) And my brother was chased by the white hats And my brother was only nineteen And my brother was shot by a sniper And my brother he died in the street And my brother was beat by policeman and he died on a prison floor And my brother he fought in Vietnam And my brother was killed coming home from the war And my brother was killed in his hometown We wear the stars and stripes And they're painted in the heart of the country We saw America die It was written on the Cairo Walls [From Justin A. Brummer notes from RYM]
