Eric Bogle - MIRRORS слова песни




"MIRRORS"-Eric BogleChildren are born with trust in their eyesit`s the first thing that we betrayChildren are born believing in magicit`s the first thing we take awayFill them with doubt instead of magicand fear instead of trustAnd after awhile, they`re just like usOn this earth there is a cityin a rich green pleasant countryWhere they kill their childrenthe children of the streetsFree enterprise exterminationwhy waste rehabilitation?a bullet is foreverIt`s so final quick and cheapAnd the despots all wear policemen`s badgesKill to supplement their wagesEarn their bloody bountywith the gun and the club and knifeWhile profit-concious businessmenUpright solid citizensPay them a cew cruzeirosfor every murdered street kids life(But they`re children!)They`re garbage on the streets(Oh the children!)They`re beggars, whores and theives(Oh pity the children!)Cry pity if you will,There`s none on the streetsof Rio de Janeiro in BrazilTo bless this piece of paradiseHigh on a hill stands Jesus ChristGazing down with sightless eyesat the daily blasphemyA mocking marble coontradictionarms spread wide in benedictionSuffer the little children,suffer them to come to meAnd the despots cry "amen, amen"while they bow their knees to BethlehemThey spit in the face of humankindTurn our dreams to worthless dustAnd the future, as it`s always done,stares down the barrel of a gunWhich once more begs the question,When will the despots come for us?(But they`re children!)Have you seen their eyes?(Oh the children!)Hard and wary and street-wise(Oh pity the children!)There are no children hereOnly old eyes full of hungerand hate and hopeless fear(But they`re children!)Abandoned and forsaken(Oh the children!)Useless human flotsam(Oh pity the children!)And pity us as wellFor in our childrens` eyesWe see mirrors of ourselves
