I learned that policemen are my friends.
I learned that justice never ends.
I learned that murderers die for their crimes.
Even if we make a mistake sometimes.

I learned our government must be strong.
It's always right and never wrong.
Our leaders are the finest men.
And we elect them again and again.

I learned that war is not so bad.
I learned of the great ones we have had.
We fought in Germany and in France.
And some day I might get my chance.

ResponderEliminar'I learned that murderers die for their crimes.'

Just choose a song, listen to it and write its lyrics at the same time it is bein' played. It's a nice way to improve your English.
I totally agree with you: capital punishment should be abolished. In my opinion the song is quite good because it's using irony to criticise a situation he considers to be horrible. It looks like a funny song but Pete Seeger here is being critical with his own country.
ResponderEliminarBy the way, thanks very much for the website!! I'll include it as a link.
Bye!
