Childrens Crusade lyrics

`You`ll pretend you were men instead of babies, and you`ll be played
in the movies by Frank Sinatra and John Wayne or some of those
other glamorous, war-loving, dirty old men. And war will look just
wonderful, so we`ll have a lot more of them. And they`ll be fought by
babies like the babies upstairs.`
Kurt Vonnegut `Slaughterhouse - Five or The Children`s Crusade`

Favourite toys turn people to trash
Don`t know if I see tomorrow
Fire and lead devour my flesh
Wild fear drowns my sorrow

Fog of death eclipses the morning sun
Screams and cries - that`s music of war
Rush for tomorrow try to live one more day
Or your body is taken home
... in a wooden box

Long time ago we had different way
You could decide what to die for
With a sword in your hand and your homeland to save
Man, not breakfast for shells

We see the morning sun
And we know that life is fun
We don`t want
To die
We are tired
Of lies
We just want to live in peace
These `wars of deliverance`
Like a gold mine that never ends
We don`t want
To fight
For somebody`s
False pride
Treat us just - we`re also people

Children`s crusade...
Crusade...
I see through the clouds - a faint ray of hope
I know after storm sun will shine
And darkness will have to retreat
Dark...
