Don't Want to Be Part of Your World |
Little girls go float upstream |
Some a' them never comin' back |
We are powerless to stop them |
As they vanish from our sight |
Little boys dig tunnels |
Into the ground they go Hundreds of them, disappear |
Little soldiers on patrol |
Singing, don’t want, don’t want |
Don’t want to be part of your world |
And we don’t want, don’t want |
Don’t want to be part of your world |
Underneath the floorboards |
In between the walls |
Everywhere there’s filled with children |
Say goodbye to boys and girls |
«We promise to be better» |
Said the folks at home |
«But it really doesn’t matter» |
Said their daughters and their sons |
Singing, don’t want, don’t want |
Don’t want to be part of your world |
And we don’t want, don’t want |
Don’t want to be part of your world |
And we don’t want, don’t want |
Don’t want to be part of your world |
And we don’t want, don’t want |
Don’t want to be part of your world |
Free from greed and hunger |
Free from hate and war |
Thousands of them altogether |
We are here and there they are |
Singing, don’t want, don’t want |
Don’t want to be part of your world |
And we don’t want, don’t want |
Don’t want to be part of your world |
And we don’t want, don’t want |
Don’t want to be part of your world |
And we don’t want, don’t want |
Don’t want to be part of your world |
And we don’t want, don’t want |
Don’t want to be part of your world |
And we don’t want, don’t want |
Don’t want to be part of your world |
