Duncan demo by Paul Simon Lyrics

My wife and me took a home by the sea
In the hopes we'd be raising some children
When the snow's on the pine
We come down from the maritime
To the oak and the pine of New England

Oh, the winter was hard and I could not find a job
And the factory closed in December
Old folks 'round the town
Know that they're feeling down
With the worst winter they could remember

Nelson McGuire, he's the same age as I
Though in looks he appears to be older
He returned to a store
From the Indo-China War
And his heart is the heart of a soldier

Saying communists and fags
Gonna desecrate the flag
Just across the Canadian border
Buried deep in his shoulder

Oh, mama
