The Bombs Keep Falling

lyrics

The bombs they keep falling
They rain from the sky
My dreams are haunted
By a new mother's cry

The world keeps on turning
The west turns away
And the people keep dying
Day after day

Our leaders they tell us
Of a right to defend
As if nothing else matters
It's the same in the end

They gather together
And furrow their brows
After hours of talking
They make meaningless vows

The bombs they keep falling
They rain from the sky
My dreams are haunted
By a new mother's cry

The world keeps on turning
The west turns away
And the people keep dying
Day after day

The ordinary people
March in the street
They say no one is listening
So they vote with their feet

But nobody's counting
It's the same in the end
Politicians are blinded
And impervious to shame

The bombs they keep falling
They rain from the sky
My dreams are haunted
By a new mother's cry

The world keeps on turning
The west turns away
And the people keep dying
Day after day
