<br />
-Eric Bogle<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Children are born with trust in their eyes<br />
<br />
it`s the first thing that we betray<br />
<br />
Children are born believing in magic<br />
<br />
it`s the first thing we take away<br />
<br />
Fill them with doubt instead of magic<br />
<br />
and fear instead of trust<br />
<br />
And after awhile, they`re just like us<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
On this earth there is a city<br />
<br />
in a rich green pleasant country<br />
<br />
Where they kill their children<br />
<br />
the children of the streets<br />
<br />
Free enterprise extermination<br />
<br />
why waste rehabilitation?<br />
<br />
a bullet is forever<br />
<br />
It`s so final quick and cheap<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And the despots all wear policemen`s badges<br />
<br />
Kill to supplement their wages<br />
<br />
Earn their bloody bounty<br />
<br />
with the gun and the club and knife<br />
<br />
While profit-concious businessmen<br />
<br />
Upright solid citizens<br />
<br />
Pay them a cew cruzeiros<br />
<br />
for every murdered street kids life<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
(But they`re children!)<br />
<br />
They`re garbage on the streets<br />
<br />
(Oh the children!)<br />
<br />
They`re beggars, whores and theives<br />
<br />
(Oh pity the children!)<br />
<br />
Cry pity if you will,<br />
<br />
There`s none on the streets<br />
<br />
of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
To bless this piece of paradise<br />
<br />
High on a hill stands Jesus Christ<br />
<br />
Gazing down with sightless eyes<br />
<br />
at the daily blasphemy<br />
<br />
A mocking marble coontradiction<br />
<br />
arms spread wide in benediction<br />
<br />
Suffer the little children,<br />
<br />
suffer them to come to me<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And the despots cry `amen, amen`<br />
<br />
while they bow their knees to Bethlehem<br />
<br />
They spit in the face of humankind<br />
<br />
Turn our dreams to worthless dust<br />
<br />
And the future, as it`s always done,<br />
<br />
stares down the barrel of a gun<br />
<br />
Which once more begs the question,<br />
<br />
When will the despots come for us?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
(But they`re children!)<br />
<br />
Have you seen their eyes?<br />
<br />
(Oh the children!)<br />
<br />
Hard and wary and street-wise<br />
<br />
(Oh pity the children!)<br />
<br />
There are no children here<br />
<br />
Only old eyes full of hunger<br />
<br />
and hate and hopeless fear<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
(But they`re children!)<br />
<br />
Abandoned and forsaken<br />
<br />
(Oh the children!)<br />
<br />
Useless human flotsam<br />
<br />
(Oh pity the children!)<br />
<br />
And pity us as well<br />
<br />
For in our childrens` eyes<br />
<br />
We see mirrors of ourselves<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/mirrors_lyrics-eric_bogle.html" target='_blank'>MIRRORS lyrics ERIC BOGLE</a></pre>

`MIRRORS`

-Eric Bogle

Children are born with trust in their eyes

it`s the first thing that we betray

Children are born believing in magic

it`s the first thing we take away

Fill them with doubt instead of magic

and fear instead of trust

And after awhile, they`re just like us

On this earth there is a city

in a rich green pleasant country

Where they kill their children

the children of the streets

Free enterprise extermination

why waste rehabilitation?

a bullet is forever

It`s so final quick and cheap

And the despots all wear policemen`s badges

Kill to supplement their wages

Earn their bloody bounty

with the gun and the club and knife

While profit-concious businessmen

Upright solid citizens

Pay them a cew cruzeiros

for every murdered street kids life

(But they`re children!)

They`re garbage on the streets

(Oh the children!)

They`re beggars, whores and theives

(Oh pity the children!)

Cry pity if you will,

There`s none on the streets

of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil

To bless this piece of paradise

High on a hill stands Jesus Christ

Gazing down with sightless eyes

at the daily blasphemy

A mocking marble coontradiction

arms spread wide in benediction

Suffer the little children,

suffer them to come to me

And the despots cry `amen, amen`

while they bow their knees to Bethlehem

They spit in the face of humankind

Turn our dreams to worthless dust

And the future, as it`s always done,

stares down the barrel of a gun

Which once more begs the question,

When will the despots come for us?

(But they`re children!)

Have you seen their eyes?

(Oh the children!)

Hard and wary and street-wise

(Oh pity the children!)

There are no children here

Only old eyes full of hunger

and hate and hopeless fear

(But they`re children!)

Abandoned and forsaken

(Oh the children!)

Useless human flotsam

(Oh pity the children!)

And pity us as well

For in our childrens` eyes

We see mirrors of ourselves
