lyrics

Some say I’m a blessing, some say I’m a curse
Everybody’s saying something, but my voice is never heard
Many say I look threatening, like an inevitable outburst
But if you would just stop driveling, here are a few words
I had to run from the streets where I used to play when I was a child
When the humming of the cars got replaced by the drums of artillery fire
I hope you never know how it feels to lie down and close your eyes
Wondering whether it’s gonna be your turn tonight.

I am on your tv, every single day
You simply shrug your shoulders and look the other way
Clever people talking they’re on every screen
Nobody wants to listen to the children’s screams
I had to run from the streets where I used to play when I was a child
When the humming of the cars got replaced by the drums of artillery fire
I hope you never know how it feels to lie down and close your eyes
Wondering whether it’s gonna be your turn tonight.

But then again I would hate
To stop clever talking
You know so much better than I
Where it is I came from and where I'm supposed to be going

I know you’re wary of me you fear my dark intentions
The blackness I have seen is beyond your imagination
I had to run from the streets where I used to play when I was a child
When the humming of the cars got replaced by the drums of artillery fire
I hope you never know how it feels to lie down and close your eyes
Wondering whether it’s gonna be your turn tonight.
