The Sound Of A Gun |
I have seen the diamond stylus, |
Cut a groove from north to south, |
Heard them calling from the islands for a better day, |
One by one they tell their story, |
One by one it’s just the same, |
«They've taken our leaders, |
And all their believers are paralysed, |
And now we can’t turn back — somebody is watching you! |
Don’t turn round — yesterday’s gone! |
And even the children are waking at midnight in tears, |
Didn’t anyone hear? |
Mother, mother, mother…» |
Hush child go to sleep, it’s only the sound of a gun, |
Hush child go to sleep, it’s only the sound of a gun; |
Looking out my bedroom window, |
I remember early days, |
When the shot that wounded millions took our breath away, |
But now the shadow of a gunman, |
With his balaclava eyes, is making the news, |
Calling out the warnings on the telephone, |
«You're in the line of fire — wish there was another way! |
Line of fire — anything goes,» |
And who is the winner, and what will the minister say, |
At the end of the day? |
Never, never, never, never! |
Hush child go to sleep, it’s only the sound of a gun, |
Hush child go to sleep, it’s only the sound of a gun; |
This is bella soma, this is bella soma… |
Mother, mother, mother… |
Hush child go to sleep, it’s only the sound of a gun, |
Hush child go to sleep, it’s only the sound of a gun, |
Hush child go to sleep, it’s only the sound of a gun, |
Hush child do not weep, |
It’s only the sound of a world on the run, |
You’re hearing the sound of a gun. |
