New Model Army - Shot 18 слова песни
Thou shalt not kill - remember that?You learnt it again and again when you were youngThey said weapons have this safety catchYour moral conscience tells you kid what`s right, what`s wrongWell they make out like they`re so surprisedBut it`s easy when you`re civilisedCount to ten, close your eyesThe way it`s always been . . .Shot 18 I think I was a bit surprisedI never knew I was so anaesthetisedAnd triggers pull so lightly and people die so easyI never realisedWell I believe in common lawsI believe in even scoresI understand the rules of warThe way the slate is cleaned . . .Shot 18 Who wants another Christian martyr?Who wants someone else`s pain?Who wants the world on their shoulder?Who wants to have to cry in vain?Who wants to have an open sore Eating away deep inside you?Who wants to torture themselvesWhen there`s plenty eager to do it for you? Well, years might heal all the scarsBut I don`t know if you feel like you have that timeAnd if I was the man that killed your fatherAnd if I said I`m sorry, would that change your mind?Well no one should be so surprisedThat words don`t pay for victims` livesIt`s teeth for teeth, eyes for eyesThe way it`s always been . . .Shot 18
