Victims
Didn't know she was crying
Until now as she turns to look at me
She said, "Boy oh boy, you bring tears to my eyes"
I said, "What?"
She said, "Boy oh boy, you bring tears to my eyes"
Bob Marley said
"How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?"
Little did he know that eventually
The enemy will stand aside and look
While we slash and kill our own brothers
Knowing that already
They are the victims of the situation
Still licking wounds from brutality
Still licking wounds from humiliation
She said these words
And the wrinkles on her face
Became perfect trail for the tears, then she said
"We are the victims every time
We've got double troubles every time
We are the victims every time
We've got double troubles every time
We are the victims every time
We've got double troubles every time"
She took me outside to the churchyard
Showed me graves on the ground
Then she said
"There lies a man who fought for equality
There lies a boy who died in his struggle
Can all these heroes die in vain?"
While we slash and kill our own brothers?
Knowing that already, they are the victims of the situation
Still licking wounds, from brutality
Still licking wounds, from humiliation
We are the victims every time
We've got double troubles every time
We are the victims every time
We've got double troubles every time
We are the victims...
Until now as she turns to look at me
She said, "Boy oh boy, you bring tears to my eyes"
I said, "What?"
She said, "Boy oh boy, you bring tears to my eyes"
Bob Marley said
"How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?"
Little did he know that eventually
The enemy will stand aside and look
While we slash and kill our own brothers
Knowing that already
They are the victims of the situation
Still licking wounds from brutality
Still licking wounds from humiliation
She said these words
And the wrinkles on her face
Became perfect trail for the tears, then she said
"We are the victims every time
We've got double troubles every time
We are the victims every time
We've got double troubles every time
We are the victims every time
We've got double troubles every time"
She took me outside to the churchyard
Showed me graves on the ground
Then she said
"There lies a man who fought for equality
There lies a boy who died in his struggle
Can all these heroes die in vain?"
While we slash and kill our own brothers?
Knowing that already, they are the victims of the situation
Still licking wounds, from brutality
Still licking wounds, from humiliation
We are the victims every time
We've got double troubles every time
We are the victims every time
We've got double troubles every time
We are the victims...
