WAR CHILD
I need city lights defense and weaponry no way of knowing my life expectancy I learn resistance like I learn to see a living witness a lonely refugee
I'm a war child I'm a war baby and that's the difference between you and me I'm a war child my occupation is being occupied I stop at the corner to be identified Across the border they pretend victory I'm playing in the rubble and dream of destiny
You were'nt discovered by Khmer Rouge we hear of the troubles on the nightly news PLO lovers courting after the curfew your father and brother have the West Bank blues |
