Dust in the wind
A child dies in silence
On the walksides of the streets
We don't stop by, it's normal now
Shredded on the battlefiled
Killed on the frontline
Death of children
For the ideas of their Fathers

A bal in the Temple
Some old bastards, deconnected from reality
Masters of finance and money
Masters of people, smoking cigars...
Masters of a corrupt system
Are controling the universe

Death for African children
A gift from occident's capitalism
In some prettry offices in New York
Lawers are making money on their knees
Dead children of war
Dead children of fear
Dead rejected children of the Earth
Bullets in their hearts

A bal in the Temple
Some old bastards, deconnected from reality
Masters of finance and money
Masters of people, smoking cigars...
Masters of a corrupt system
Are controling the universe

Dead the children of Africa
Dead the children of the Earth
And we blame the sun, we blame the food,
We blame them... we're controlling their lives
Dead, gift from our occidental industry
The surplus of our weapons
Dead the children of fear
Dead the children of us

Dead the child who lived in me
Who saw in this world
Forests, sunsets, rivers...
And brothers
The child takes the weapon
And in a cry of tears shoots me
And with them I'm dead too
Even though I don't look like them
My heart sinks with them
Dead the children of our industry

Some old bastards are rulling the universe
Some military... nothing
With them the children will die
Third-World.... what a mess
I can' no longer live with fear
Who belongs to another one
And to me at the same time
And Mummy and Daddy...

Dead the children of the streets
Dead the children who lived in King
Dead the children who cried
Dead the children who dreamed
One day the child takes a weapon
One day the child becomes a man
One day the child looses his Throne
Dead the children...
Dead the children...
Dead the child...

I like this a lot (okay I'm repeating myself but it's true)

Q: is "deconnected" supposed to be use of poetic licence or is it just an error (I'm not sure it exists in English)
 
mmm... about deconnected, I thought it exists in english (it's a traduction, I've written the originally in french, so...)


I'll see..

thanks and cheers
