We've lost our leading man

          Thousands dead in the hills of Pakistan

          Contrary to what you've been told

          It's oil bought and sold

         

          John Wayne you're forever gone

          Good old Duke

          I've been waiting all my life to see you again

         

          Confused friendly fire

          Politicians to be put on trial

          They make their promises

          And then they torture kids

         

          John Wayne you're forever gone

          Good old Duke

          I've been waiting for all my life to see you again

John Wayne you’re forever dead

John Wayne I wanna see you again

I wanna see you again

I wanna see you again

John Wayne, John Wayne

John Wayne you’re forever gone

Good old Duke

I’ve been waiting all my life to see you again

John Wayne you’re forever gone

Good old Duke

I’ve been waiting all my life to see you again

         

          Money and empire

          America and the absent sire

          fatigues and Belleville boots

          And some they kill in suits
