Dictatorship To DemocracyA Poem by JC PireHow come I don't know where I live? Will I be taught when a man, and not a kid? Should I spend it painting up my face? Or tied to this town by an ankle brace?
A brace, a brace, a brace. A brace, a brace, a brace.
I don't care why these towns are brawling One maybe flying and the other maybe crawling To the sun afar, the moon is a lark But the sun's never there in the dark
The dark, the dark, the dark. The dark, the dark, the dark.
The clouds of war loom over this view It rain on the valleys and the pastures anew But for the pastures gone lies a marble slab Of man who once said "These towns will be had"
Be had, be had, be had. Be had, be had, be had.
When you fight for the Nobel Peace You arm your soldiers and the priests It takes time for a tree to grow right up It takes none to burn it down to dust
To dust, To dust, To dust. To dust, To dust, To dust.
There lives a man who buys all the guns He looks like a wall that's about to be done His face crumbles in and falls to the ground He dressed much like Hitler and echoed his sound
His sound, his sound, his sound. His sound, his sound, his sound.
So it's hard to believe that there is no more war That there is no line, we can now cross the floor But for people this myth was still a myth They pull out their swords and started to kill
Again, again, again. Again, again, again. © 2009 JC Pire |
