I see a boy of fourteen, he's got a rifle in his hand.
|
He's dying to defend his desert land.
|
He's got an arm around his father, another arm around his gun.
|
Must the child in the father die so young?
|
|
There's a teenage girl in Belfast, playing in the street.
|
Her brother plays a different game and he's turning up the heat
|
On the soldiers around the corner and the powers overseas.
|
And who are they to ruin lives like these?
|
|
`Cos they're yours and they're mine, they're yours and mine.
|
`Cos they're yours and they're mine, yours and mine.
|
|
So you think that it's so easy just to let I pass you by
|
You watch T.V. and pretend it's all a lie.
|
But you know there is no Third World, it happens to us all.
|
There's just one world and the kids are the first to fall.
|
|
And they're yours and they're mine, they're yours and mine.
|
And they're yours an they're mine, yours and mine.
|
|
He's every mother's son and she raised him for something
|
Better than a bullet.
|
He's every mother's son and she raised him for something
|
Better than a bullet.
|
He's every mother's son and she raised him
|
for something
|
Better than a bullet.
|
He's every mother's son, his life's hanging from a trigger
|
and I won't pull it.
|
`Cos they're yours and they're mine, they're yours and mine.
|
`Cos they're yours and they're mine, yours and mine.
