Children Of The Revolution Lyrics - Singles - Maccoll Kirsty

(Kirsty MacColl/Johnny Marr) 

Children of the revolution coming out to play 

Bombers ripped the night apart and blew the school away 

Some live on the south side and they overlook the water 

Some live on the north side and they're looking at the border 

And those children of the revolution see the soldiers come 

Smiling at the widows as they take away the sons 

Children of the revolution shot down with a brand new gun 

They're dropping down like flies and in their eyes 

The images of war are in their eyes 

They've seen it all before and know your lies 

Won't keep their bellies full 

In love and war there are no rules 

Children of the revolution getting off the boat 

To face the ignorance and prejudice that keep this world afloat 

Children of the revolution make a brand new start 

Running through the rubble of a thousand broken hearts and in their eyes 

All promises are broken in their eyes 

The words that can't be spoken and your lies 

Don't keep their bellies full 

In love and war there are no rules 

But in their eyes 

Murder comes by sea and from the skies 

It's shiny and it's quick to take their lives 

And if it's cruel in love and war there are no rules 

Children of the revolution coming out to play 

Someone sells a gun and someone blows them all away 

Children of the revolution sold out by the banks 

Who swap the green upon the dollars for the green upon the tanks 

Children of the revolution shot down by a brand new gun
