Child is a Child
from Our New Life by Paul Tabachneck
lyrics
there's a fire from the harbor to the city
from the meadow to the mosque on the hill
there's lying on the television
if you're not here to say sorry
get off my screen
the doctor is crying
what good, what good is all this hate?
no matter who you praise or blame
inside the hospital walls
we all bleed and break
we all bleed and break the very same
look out
here comes the politic
that age old david and goliath trick
he says, brother, the fight is fixed
and his facts and figures are inclined to agree
I see you driving
your tank through his house of sticks
now you say i'm taking sides
well it's just that some things
just that some things can't be justified
no matter what your side
no matter what your side
a child is a child is a child is a child is a child
You have the coordinates
still you wanna tell me it's an accident
how many broken bones
bombed out schools
bulldozed homes
before we call a spade a spade
and have the spine to say
what everyone's afraid
everyone's afraid
everyone's afraid to say
no matter what your side
no matter what your side
a crime is a crime is a crime is a crime is a crime
the doctor is crying
what good is all this hate?
no matter who you praise or blame
inside the hospital walls
we all bleed and break
we all bleed and break
we all bleed and break the very same
from the meadow to the mosque on the hill
there's lying on the television
if you're not here to say sorry
get off my screen
the doctor is crying
what good, what good is all this hate?
no matter who you praise or blame
inside the hospital walls
we all bleed and break
we all bleed and break the very same
look out
here comes the politic
that age old david and goliath trick
he says, brother, the fight is fixed
and his facts and figures are inclined to agree
I see you driving
your tank through his house of sticks
now you say i'm taking sides
well it's just that some things
just that some things can't be justified
no matter what your side
no matter what your side
a child is a child is a child is a child is a child
You have the coordinates
still you wanna tell me it's an accident
how many broken bones
bombed out schools
bulldozed homes
before we call a spade a spade
and have the spine to say
what everyone's afraid
everyone's afraid
everyone's afraid to say
no matter what your side
no matter what your side
a crime is a crime is a crime is a crime is a crime
the doctor is crying
what good is all this hate?
no matter who you praise or blame
inside the hospital walls
we all bleed and break
we all bleed and break
we all bleed and break the very same
