Somewhere Nowhere

from Somewhere Nowhere by Bateau Ivre

/

lyrics

death threat sent through the wire
thereby making this world a little colder
stop! and hands off the dial
drown out the crackle of hell’s fire

will we ever be wise - like this?
freed from genocide

make them stand in a line
there's no reason to smile at the traitor
washed clean from the war trial
seventh sin in the hand of soldiers

no we'll never be wise - like this
flee from genocide

fuelled by rage we keep making stories up
tales of hate saying it's time to spill the blood
sealed their fate will it ever be enough?
softly whisper why - oh! the crime

numbers lined up in files
so well hidden in neat clean folders
blunt rhymes to reconcile
when their hearts stay somewhere and nowhere

on killing fields thousand corpses left to rot
where everyone was executed on the spot
wondering will this madness ever stop?
shivers down my spine - oh! the crime

is there still hope
for a world so cold?
somewhere afloat nowhere to go.
