A woman came and said to me
|
She'd seen a lady sell her baby
|
For ten or twenty dollars maybe
|
And everybody thinks she's crazy
|
They're too blind to see
|
She never failed to call attention
|
To the things we never mention
|
Real horror, daily, courtesy of your TV
|
C'est La Vie
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
A woman came and said to me
|
Now listen very carefully
|
There's brother killing brother
|
People living on their knees
|
Biting sugar coated bullets
|
For the pain of this disease
|
C'est La Vie
|
|
A woman came and said to me
|
She had a husband on an island
|
Found his body on a wasteland
|
Soldiers came and took him
|
Just to torture her you see
|
All alone she mourned her lover
|
Crossed the sea to find a brother
|
Maybe he could help her get her baby back for free
|
C'est La Vie
|
|
[Chorus]
|
