ellis paul - Washington DC 5/91 слова песни
Politician and a stewardessUnderneath the monuments and the moon He talked of national security She talked of Paris in June (chorus) The lucky ones if they`re out tonight Can see cherry blossoms blooming Or ride white carriages beneath city lights But Lincoln`s eyes of stone stare cool As if bored of the reflecting pool Or hardened by what`s hidden from his sight They`re rioting in the capitol tonight... Now the Joneses from Poughkeepsie Rest mall-weary legs in the hotel pool They`re soaking up reflections The kids are glad they`re out of school The museums were overcrowded White House lines were much too long But the sights, they were quite beautiful It`s good to know where the tax money`s gone...New Light on your Halo Welcome to the city where we`re rich on pride and pity Where a schoolboy, just a fool boy, gets shot down in daylight A state of shock, a face down on the sidewalk Who`s seeing God and gets the nod to Heaven like a hawk Who keeps the score when the city goes to war -- By guns, by deaths, by money?A man in a black coat standing in the gun-smoke Sips on white milk and honey... (chorus)This can be the playground of the feeble Where the mindless mix the soil of play with evil A child becomes the means because innocence is believable To all, to all, to all, but their mother`s eyes New light on your halo And it ain`t shining brightly
