They Killed Her, Didn’t They? Lyrics
The Family’s so glad she’s gone
She’s flown up into the arms of The Son
They never liked her friendly ways
They despised her love of life ev’ry day
But to us she seemed more real
She seemed to care how we feel
Some say ‘With just her smile she could heal’
Next to Mother Teresa she now kneels
I wish things were as they were
But, they killed her
Didn’t they, didn’t they, didn’t they?
They killed her
Didn’t they?
Although they hounded her day and night
She never gave up her will to do what’s right
She was like a rebel on the run
But in the end ‘The Establishment’ won
She showed us how to give and how to love
It was like she came to us from above
She was taken from us before her time
Some say ‘They know who had done the crime’
I wish things could be as they were
But, they killed her
Didn’t they, didn’t they, didn’t they?
They killed her
Didn’t they?
Yes there were times, I’m sure you know
When she was down and she felt so low
And she seemed to carry the world on her shoulders
But she came through it wiser and a bit older
She gave hope to the ill and the poor
And to those who didn’t know what they were living for
Even though at times she felt alone
We all know that in our hearts was her home
I wish things were as they were
But, they killed her
Didn’t they, didn’t they, didn’t they?
They killed her
Didn’t they?
At the ceremony her boys were told not to cry
Like it wasn’t their Mother who had died
The Family devoid of any emotion
But she was the focus of the country’s devotion
Her cheating husband was now free
To be with the woman with whom he always wanted to be
The night when she went I felt so sad
She was like the sister that I never had
I wish things could be as they were
But, they killed her
Didn’t they, didn’t they, didn’t they?
They killed her
Didn’t they?
