Ed Borrie - Tears of the Innocent Lyrics

All the private armies fight for money or revenge
And the tears of the innocent
Can't believe you're treating me like all those men
Through the years we were friends
Hotel International Saigon city Vietnam
He's a Quiet American
And the tears of the innocent
And the tears of the innocent

When the fighting stops I want more than this
When the fighting stops I want more than this
I don't know how to leave how hard it is
When the fighting stops I want more than this

All the private armies fight for money or revenge
And the tears they come again
Sleeps through the night with the opium pipe
The darkness lives inside
Phoenix waits for her man in the midnight heat of the city
In the grit in the sweat and the haven't yet
And the western lies of the government
And the tears of the innocent
And the tears

When the fighting stops I want more than this
When the fighting stops I want more than this
I don't know how to leave how hard it is
When the fighting stops I want more than this

All the private armies fight for money or revenge
And the tears of the innocent
Can't believe you're treating me like all those men
Through the years we were friends
Very quiet man Quiet American
And he kills without consequence
And the tears of the innocent
And the tears

He's a very quiet man Quiet American
And he kills without consequence
And the tears of the innocent
I wasn't ready til now I wasn't ready for this
The life that we lived the one before this
The life that we lived the one before this
The one before this

We have no agency here only rivers of tears
The cliches of policies of policies apologies
And prophecies of men through the years
You can't hold on when nothing is real
