Paroles Korea de David Rovics

Textes et Paroles de Korea

Fifty years ago today we stood in rubbleThe sun rose each morning through the smokeYour planes flew above us looking for somethin' left to bombOur factories, our schools lied ravaged and brokeNow you wonder why there is this angerAs we remember all too clearly a time that we once knewWhen every home and every dam and so many, many peopleWere flattened to the ground by the things you had to doWhen Korea was just another nameFor bombs falling from the skyAnd home was just another wordFor this place where people dieFifty years ago today you killed my motherI've lived my whole life and I never knewThe love she might have given, the joy she might have feltTo sit in the garden where her grandchildren grewAnd now you wonder why we might feel attackedYou wonder at the stand our leaders takeBut it was you, I remember, who gave us this lessonOf the sound of a city when it breaksWhen Korea was just another nameFor bombs falling from the skyAnd home was just another wordFor this place where people dieFifty years ago today you killed my fatherHe was shooting at your planes when he diedJust one of how many million dead soldiersFighting and falling side by sideAnd now you wonder at what you call an evil axisYou throw words that someday will explodeWe remember the last time you said these thingsWhen crater was another word for roadWhen Korea was just another nameFor bombs falling from the skyAnd home was just another wordFor this place where people dieFifty years ago today we stood in rubble
