Stiff Little Fingers - Each Dollar A Bullet слова песни
Oh it must seem so romanticWhen the fighting`s over thereAnd they`re passing round the shamrockAnd you`re all filled up with tears"For the love of dear old Ireland"That you`ve never even seenYou throw in twenty dollarsAnd sing "Wearing of the Green"(Chorus:)Each dollar a bulletEach victim someone`s sonAnd Americans kill IrishmenAs surely as if they fired the gunNow you`ve never stood on Belfast`s streetsAnd heard the bombs explodeOr hid beneath the blanketsWhen there`s riots down the roadNo, you`ve never had your best friend dieOr lost a favourite sonBut you`ll stand there and tell usJust what we`re doing wrongEach false word a bulletEach victim someone`s sonAnd Englishmen kill IrishmenAs surely as if they fired the gunFrom the minute that you`re born you`re toldto hate the other side"They`re not like us, they`re not the sameWe know because we`re right"But can`t you see we`re all the sameThere is no right and wrongWhy can`t we stop and realiseWe`ve hated too much, too longEach old lie a bullet Each victim someone`s sonAnd Irishmen kill IrishmenAs surely as if they fired the gunHow can you convince yourselfThat what you do is right?When people are dying thereNight after nightDon`t you ever wonderWhy it stilll goes on?The hopes and fears and all the tearsAre buried in your ground Buried in your groundEach rumour a bulletEach victim someone`s sonAnd careless talk kills IrishmenAs surely as if words fired the gunWell it`s lasted for so long nowAnd so many have diedIt`s such a part of my own lifeYet it leaves me mystifiedHow a people so intelligentFriendly, kind and braveCan throw themselves so willinglyInto an open graveEach new day a bulletEach victim someone`s sonAnd ignorance kills IrishmenAs surely as if we fired the gun
