Maccoll Kirsty - Children of the Revolution Lyrics




Children of the revolution
coming out to play
Bombers ripped the night apart
and blew the school away
Some live on the south side
and they overlook the water
Some live on the north side
and they're looking at the border
And those children of the revolution
see the soldiers come
Smiling at the widows
as they take away the sons
Children of the revolution
shot downith a brand new gun
They're dropping down like flies
and in their eyes the images of
war are in their eyes
They've seen it all before
and know your lies
Won't keep their bellies full
In love and war there are no rules

Children of the revolution
getting off the boat
To face the ignorance and prejudice
that keep this land afloat
Children of the revolution
make a brand new start
Running through the rubble
of a thousand broken hearts
and in their eyes
All promises are broken in their eyes
The words that can't be spoken
and your lies
Don't keep their bellies full
In love and war there are no rules
But in their eyes
Murder comes by sea and from the skies
It's shiny and it's quick
to take their lives
And if it's cruel in love and war
there are no rules

Children of the revolution
coming out to play
Someone sells a gun and someone
blows them all away
Children of the revolution
sold out by the banks
Who swap the green upon the dollars
for the green upon the tanks
Children of the revolution
shot down by a brand new gun
