Lyrics Did You Hear What They Said? - Gil Scott-Heron
Did
you
hear
what
they
said?
Did
you
hear
what
they
said?
Did
you
hear
what
they
said?
They
said,
"another
brother's
dead"
They
said,
"He's
dead,
but
he
can't
be
buried"
They
said,
"He's
dead,
but
he
can't
be
buried"
Come
on,
come
on,
come
on,
come
on
This
can't
be
real
Did
you
hear
what
they
said?
Did
you
hear
what
they
said?
Did
you
hear
what
they
said?
They
said
they
shot
him
in
his
head
A
shot
in
the
head
to
save
his
country
A
shot
in
the
head
to
save
his
country
Come
on,
come
on,
come
on,
come
on
This
can't
be
real
Did
you
hear
what
they
said?
Yeah,
did
you
hear
what
they
said?
Did
you
hear
what
they
said?
About
his
mother
and
how
she
cried?
They
said,
"She
cried
'cause
her
only
son
was
dead"
They
said,
"She
cried
'cause
her
only
son
was
dead"
Woman,
could
you
imagine
if
your
only
son
was
dead?
And
somebody
told
you,
"he
couldn't
be
buried"?
Hey,
hey,
come
on,
come
on,
come
on,
come
on
This
can't
be
real
