How long lyrics

Artist  : Wild strawberries 
Song : How long
 
Gunther told me it would take one week I knew for
sure that he was lying How long Well I went to
see my doctor Only she was crying twice as much
as me How long They say suicide is painless But
I'd like to disagree I've watched my country cut
her veins I've seen her civilized o.d. And Thomas
More he signals me With foreign wars and
razor-blades All I can say is how long How long
Forgive me this intrusion You're my only
consolation As my people cry with me how long I
don't mean to be exploitive But my God I know
you're listening And I know that you are crying
here with me When the vicar shot the stranger We
assumed his good intentions When the stranger
shot We pronounced him dead There's a part of me
that's empty When the world has stopped its
shaking There's a part of me that wants it all to
end
