War baby

Years too late in a ramshackle world
to see the awful destruction
so you just go for the girls
proposing private reconstruction
Questions are like burdens to you
and answers feel like cells
tell you mama life won't do
until she makes you well

     War baby, war baby, war baby !

The wars were over or too far away
and your friends all looking tawdry
in me-decades and
fashions of the day
and your clothes
are just cute laundry

     refr.

So masturbate for freedom
pray to the viable, go broke
tell your mama you don't see them
all your dreams gone up in smoke

    refr.


1988. Met muziek van Ludo Mariman op diens LP later CD You never know what's yours uit 1989
