text: Well, no cannonball did fly, no rifles cut us down
  No bombs fell from the sky, no blood soaked the ground
  No powder flash blinded the eye
  No deathly thunder sounded
  But just as sure as the hand of God
  They brought death to my hometown
  They brought death to my hometown, boy
  Now, no shells ripped the evening sky, no cities burning down
  No army stormed the shores for which we’d die
  No dictators were crowned
  I awoke on a quiet night, I never heard a sound
  The marauders raided in the dark
  They brought death to my hometown, boys
  Death to my hometown
  They destroyed our families, factories
  And they took our homes
  They left our bodies on the plains
  The vultures picked our bones
  So listen up, my sonny boy, be ready when they come
  For they’ll be returning sure as the rising sun
  Now get yourself a song to sing and sing it till you’re done
  Sing it hard and sing it well
  Send the robber barons straight to hell
  The greedy thieves who came around
  And ate the flesh of everything they found
  Whose crimes have gone unpunished now
  Who walk the streets as free men now
  They brought death to our hometown, boys
  Death to our hometown, boys
  Death to our hometown, boys
  Death to our hometown
