Dedicated to Kurt Vonnegut
|
"You'll pretend you were men instead of babies, and you'll be played
|
in the movies by Frank Sinatra and John Wayne or some of those
|
other glamorous, war-loving, dirty old men. And war will look just
|
wonderful, so we'll have a lot more of them. And they'll be fought by
|
babies like the babies upstairs."
|
Kurt Vonnegut "Slaughterhouse - Five or The Children's Crusade"
|
|
Favourite toys turn people to trash
|
Don't know if I see tomorrow
|
Fire and lead devour my flesh
|
Wild fear drowns my sorrow
|
|
Fog of death eclipses the morning sun
|
Screams and cries - that's music of war
|
Rush for tomorrow try to live one more day
|
Or your body is taken home
|
... in a wooden box
|
|
Long time ago we had different way
|
You could decide what to die for
|
With a sword in your hand and your homeland to save
|
Man, not breakfast for shells
|
|
We see the morning sun
|
And we know that life is fun
|
We don't want
|
To die
|
We are tired
|
Of lies
|
We just want to live in peace
|
These "wars of deliverance"
|
Like a gold mine that never ends
|
We don't want
|
To fight
|
For somebody's
|
False pride
|
Treat us just - we're also people
|
|
Children's crusade...
|
Crusade...
|
I see through the clouds - a faint ray of hope
|
I know after storm sun will shine
|
And darkness will have to retreat
|
Dark...
