The Work Is Done

The work is done, the work is done

The work is done I have just killed a child

You know down in Vietnam

It needs no father, it needs no mother

It needs no parents anymore, cause you know

'Cause you know the work is done

So gimme shelter, so gimme shelter

So gimme shelter Uncle Sam, I'm a lonely boy

I have just killed someone

So gimme shelter Uncle Sam, I'm a lonely boy

I have just killed someone

I love the peace, I love the peace

I love the peace and if I killed the enemy they said

I have done nothing wrong

Do me a favour, do me a favour

Do me a favour just believe that I feel what I say

Life is hard enough

So gimme shelter, so gimme shelter

So gimme shelter Uncle Sam, I'm a lonely boy

I have just killed someone

So gimme shelter Uncle Sam, I'm a lonely boy

I have just killed someone

So gimme shelter, so gimme shelter

So Uncle Sam look what I have done

I'm on my way

I'm going home

Hmm, the work is done, the work is done

The work is done I have just killed a child

You know down in Vietnam

It needs no father, it needs no mother

It needs no parents anymore, cause you know

'Cause you know the work is done

So gimme shelter, so gimme shelter

So gimme shelter Uncle Sam, I'm a lonely boy

I have just killed someone

So gimme shelter Uncle Sam, I'm a lonely boy

I have just killed someone

So gimme shelter Uncle Sam, I'm a lonely boy

I have just killed someone

So gimme shelter Uncle Sam, I'm a lonely boy

I have just killed someone

I'm on my way

I'm going home

I'm on my way

Ahhh
