Faithless - Bombs
Lyrics:
We think we’re heroes, we think we’re kings We plan all kinds of fabulous things Oh look how great we have become
Key in the door, the moment I’ve been longing for Before my bag hit the floor My adorable children rush up screaming for a kiss And a story they’re a gift to this world My only claim to glory I surely never knew sweeter days Blows my mind like munitions I’m amazed
So much heaven, so much hell So much love, so much pain So much more than I thought this world could ever contain So much war, so much soul Moments lost, moments go So much more than I thought this world can ever hold
We’re just children, we’re just dust We are small and we are lost And we’re nothing, nothing at all
One bomb, the whole block gone Can’t find me children and dust covers the sun Everywhere is noise, panic and confusion But to some another fun day in Babylon I’m gonna bury my wife and dig up my gun My life is done so now I got to kill someone
So much heaven, so much hell So much love, so much pain So much more than I thought this world could ever contain So much war, so much soul Moments lost, moments go So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
So much heaven, so much hell So much love, so much pain So much more than I thought this world could ever contain So much war, so much soul Moments lost, moments go So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
You are a stain that happens from human sexual intercourse. Get out of that cage you are in; grab life by the horns and get it on. I, and the rest of the people, will not carry you around so get on with it. was nice until your one bomb line. Be bit more optimistic.
The comment above makes no sense.
As for the song, I think it’s beautiful and timely. I think the part about a man burying his family in Babylon and then wanting to kill someone is a very good explanation of how the invasion of Iraq has fueled terrorism and hatred of the West in that country.
The whole song is beautiful. I wish I could write something like that.
Why not tell the Iraqis to be “bit more optimistic” when 650,000 of them have been murdered so far for oil money? We have to pay attention to negative things like this, or they will just get worse.
