《Each Dollar a Bullet (Live)》歌词

[00:00:07] Oh it must be so romantic

[00:00:10] When the fighting's over there

[00:00:12] And they're passing round the shamrock

[00:00:14] And you're all filled up with tears

[00:00:17] For the love of dear old ireland

[00:00:19] That you've never even seen

[00:00:22] You throw in twenty dollars

[00:00:24] And sing wearing of the green

[00:00:26] Each dollar a bullet

[00:00:29] Each victim someone's son

[00:00:31] And americans kill irishmen

[00:00:34] As surely

[00:00:35] As if they fired the gun

[00:00:40] Now you've never stood on belfast's streets

[00:00:43] And heard the bombs explode

[00:00:45] Or hid beneath the blankets

[00:00:47] When there's riots down the road

[00:00:49] No you've never had your best friend die

[00:00:52] Or lost a favorite son

[00:00:54] But you'll stand there and tell us

[00:00:56] Just what we're doing wrong

[00:00:59] Each false word a bullet

[00:01:01] Each victim someone's son

[00:01:03] And englishmen kill irishmen

[00:01:06] As surely

[00:01:08] As if they fired the gun

[00:01:12] From the minute that you're born you're told

[00:01:15] To hate the other side

[00:01:17] They're not like us they're not the same

[00:01:19] We know because we're right

[00:01:21] But can't you see we're all the same

[00:01:24] There is no right and wrong

[00:01:26] Why can't we stop and realize

[00:01:28] We've hated too much too long

[00:01:30] Each old lie a bullet

[00:01:33] Each victim someone's son

[00:01:35] And irishmen kill irishmen

[00:01:37] As surely

[00:01:38] As if they fired the gun

[00:01:44] How can you convince yourself

[00:01:46] That what you do is right

[00:01:48] When people are dying there

[00:01:51] Night after night

[00:01:53] Don't you ever wonder

[00:01:55] Why it still goes on

[00:01:57] The hopes and fears and all the tears

[00:02:00] Are buried in your ground

[00:02:01] Buried in your ground

[00:02:25] Each rumour a bullet

[00:02:26] Each victim someone's son

[00:02:29] And careless talk kills irishmen

[00:02:30] As surely

[00:02:33] As if words fired the gun

[00:02:40] Well it's lasted for so long now

[00:02:43] And so many have died

[00:02:45] It's such a part of my own life

[00:02:48] Yet it leaves me mystified

[00:02:50] How a people so intelligent

[00:02:53] Friendly kind and brave

[00:02:55] Can throw themselves so willingly

[00:02:57] Into an open grave

[00:03:00] Each new day a bullet

[00:03:02] Each victim someone's son

[00:03:05] And ignorance kills irishmen

[00:03:07] As surely

[00:03:18] As if we fired the gun
