Lobotomy, Gets 'Em Home (Edit)

歌詞

She was born into depression With a healthy disregard for republicans and democracy She tried to teach the nation She had spirit, she had pride, she had dignity Her fate was sealed at seventeen Took a trip to Moscow Came back and told of things she’d seen Shot a film down Mexico, showed the workers’ plight Brought the peoples’ struggle to the silver screen White House wheels were set in motion Instigating cold war, holding the reds at bay In the name of mental hygiene G-Men came in the dead of night Jacked her up, committed her away May heaven please forbid, and may the Lord forgive What Washington once did for Frances Farmer May heaven please forbid, and may the Lord forgive What Washington once did for Frances Farmer Like a butterfly they captured her With brutality they turned her heart to stone Her folks believed the surgeon when he said, “Lobotomy is the only way they’d get their Frances home” Branded un-American Forced into obscurity, but monitored by prying eyes The victim of a witch-hunt Did she feel the steel claws tear her soul Now there’s nothing left behind May heaven please forbid, and may the Lord forgive What Washington once did May heaven please forbid, and may the Lord forgive What Washington once did for Frances Farmer For Frances Farmer
