Almost Gone (The Ballad Of Bradley Manning )
Written by Graham Nash and James Raymond

Locked up in a white room, underneath a glaring light
Every 5 minutes, they're asking me if I'm alright
Locked up in a white room naked as the day I was born 24 bright light,
24 all alone

What I did was show some truth to the working man
What I did was blow the whistle and the games began

Tell the truth and it will set you free
That's what they taught me as a child
But I can't be silent after all I've seen and done
24 bright light I'm almost gone, almost gone

Locked up in a white room, dying to communicate
Trying to hang in there underneath a crushing wait
Locked up in a white room I'm always facing time 24 bright light,
24 down the line

What I did was show some truth to the working man
What I did was blow the whistle and the games began

But I did my duty to my country first
That's what they taught me as a man
But I can't be silent after all I've seen and done
24 bright light I'm almost gone, almost gone (Treat me like a human, Treat me like a man )

Oh does it warm my soul to hear Graham Nash sing about Bradley Manning exposing America's war crimes in the grave yard of Empires...

[moto2kx2]

Manning's a friggon HERO! I wish the gay factor could not be used as discrimination. WHISTLE BLOWERS ARE HERO'S!

[gerald morain]

I worked on nuclear weapons platforms pushing the wrong buttons always someone checking your sanity bludlust levels what has changed? is there not a moral ,i understand the heat of battle but at 20000 ft. the dogs of war were unleashed by gw he is the one that started the blood lust

[Roxanne Greschner]

I am a whistle blower and have no protection.

I know of it. 'You can pull the wool over the eyes of some of the people, some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time'! We know what you're up to America !...and the world is watching....

[dclate62]

'Tis amazing how Hillary Clinton and the U.S are very quick to accuse Assad in Syria of war crimes (true), but want to see JA and BM rot in hell because they exposed America doing the very same thing ! Double standards...'Do as i say, not as i do'...

[dclate62]

Wasn't taking anything away from the courageous act of Bradley Manning. He is indeed a Hero in the 'Land of the brave and home of the 'not-so-free'......
