Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
It wouldn't be incredible
If we could retrace all the collisions
All the lives that we lived here
All response
ย
Wasted, I've never been so wasted
I've never been this far out before
Perimeter walk
ย
There's a presence, here
I recognise, I recognise a presence
Of a child
ย
Could have been ancient
And could have been mystical
And could have been ancient
And could have been mystical
ย
I recognise a childhood
A childhood, a childhood
A misplaced childhood
ย
A childhood, a childhood
A childhood, a childhood
A childhood, a childhood
A childhood, a childhood
A misplaced childhood, a misplaced childhood
A childhood, a childhood
A childhood, a childhood
A childhood, a childhood
A childhood
I saw a war widow in a launderette
Washing the memories from her husband's clothes
She had medals pinned to a threadbare greatcoat
A lump in her throat with cemetery eyes
I see convoys curbcrawling West German autobahns
Trying to pick up a war
They're going to even the score
Oh, I can't take any more
I see black flags on factories
Soup ladles poised on the lips of the poor
I see children with vacant stares, destined for rape in the alleyways
Does anybody care?
I can't take any more
Should we say goodbye?
Goodbye
ย
I see priests, politicians
And heroes in black plastic body-bags under nation's flags
I see children pleading with outstretched hands
Drenched in napalm, this is no Vietnam
I can't take any more
Should we say goodbye?
How can we justify?
ย
And they call us civilized
