War On The Streets

Images of flashing lights No "Jai guru deva" tonight, oh, Lord Wheels of steel and barricades Those soldiers' arms won't hold them tight for long Baby hides behind her hands She don't understand what's going on What's going on? All I see is, people running for cover They're children and mothers We're watching war on the streets I can't watch the evening news Reality gives me the blues, oh, Lord (I can't watch the evening news) (Reality gives me the blues) Dinner time ain't quite the same While bodies lie in shallow graves abroad (Yeah, they lie in shallow graves) (Dinner time ain't quite the same) Baby hides behind her hands She don't understand what's going on What's going on? All I see is, people running for cover They're children and mothers We're watching war on the streets Homes on fire, how much should they suffer? Will they ever recover? We're watching war on the streets Oh Children scream, the sky's on fire while you put on your clothes Bridges burn and cities fall while you're complaining you've burned your toast You can try and hide and close your eyes But you can't unhear a mother's cry, oh, Lord Oh, Lord! All I see is, people running for cover They're children and mothers We're watching war on the streets Will they ever recover? We're watching war on the streets
