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
