Words and music by joni mitchell I met a young soldier He said his name was killer kyle He was shakin all over Like a night-frightened child This is his story Its a tough one for me to sing Hard as the squawk and the flap And the beat of--the beat of black wings "they gave me a gun," he said "they gave me a mission For the power and the glory-- Propaganda--piss on em Theres a war zone inside me-- I can feel things exploding-- I cant even hear the fucking music playing For the beat of--the beat of black wings." He said, "i never had nothin-- Nothin I could believe in My girl killed our unborn child Without even grievin! I put my hands on her belly To feel the kid kickin--damn! Shed been to some clinic Oh--the beat of black wings." "they want you--they need you-- They train you to kill-- To be a pin on some map-- Some vicarious thrill-- The old hate the young Thats the whole heartless thing The old pick the wars We die in em To the beat of--the beat of black wings." Theres a man drawing pictures On the sidewalk with chalk Just as fast as he draws em Rain come down and wash em off "keep the drinks comin girl til I cant feel anything Im just a chalk mark in a rainstorm Im just the beat of black wings."
