lyrics

A Chid is a Child.

There's a fire from the harbour to the city,
from the meadow to the mosque on the hill.
He's lying on the television.
If you're not here to say sorry, get off my screen.
The doctor is crying,
"What good, what good is all this hate?
No matter who you praise or blame,
Inside the hospital walls we all bleed and break,
We all bleed and break, the very same."


Here comes the politic,
The age old David and Goliath trick,
You say, "brother the fight is fixed"
Now, the facts and figures are inclined to agree
i've seen you driving,
Your tanks through his house of sticks,
Now say i'm taking sides,
Well, it's just that some things,
Just that some things,
Just that some things can't be justified

No mater what your side,
A child, is a child is a child,
is a child is child.

You has the coordinates,
Now you try to tell me it's an accident.
Well, How many broken bones?
Bombed out schools or bulldozed homes?
Before we call a spade a spade,
And Have the spine to say,
What everyone's afraid,
Everyone's Afraid,
Everyone's afraid to say.




No matter what you side,
A crime is a crime,
Is a crime is crime is a crime ,
Is a crime is a crime.

The doctor is crying,
"What good, what good is all this hate?
No matter who you praise or blame,
Inside the hospital walls we all bleed and break,
We all bleed and break, the very same."
