I was driving through the fens in a peaceful english scene   Paid for by my grandfather the original gunners dream   I was taking life for granted though I was born to die   It's been a long, lont time since a bomb dropped from the expansive Norfolk sky      I was listening to the radio and the talk was war   Freed themselves from Tito settling old scores      Far from Sarejevo it seemed irrelevant to me   That it was U.N. troops or diplomats that had to intervene   We are impotent in our power    Do we dare to fight again   Must we always kill for freedom    What will intervention gain?      It's a symptom of repression and people held at bay   No freedom of expression waiting for this day to come   If we impose our standards on people newly freed   We will be the opressors    And the curse of war will breed on      Don't let it breed on   Don't let it breed on      Her cries went right through me   Gripped my heart till I thought that I would die   That little child on the operating table   I had to stop to wipe the tears from my eyes      They had no drugs to comfort her    To dull away the pain   As they removed the bloody legacy    A cruel shrapnel rain   That had destroyed the lives of many   Of the ones that she loved   Or would they shake your faith in the Lord above      And the eyes of the world    Why are they turning away?   She had no natural resources    To protect her in her play   And the backstreets of her home town   They are burning down in flames   She is part of a new kristallnacht    An ethnic cleansing day      We are ignorant we are partisan   We are ignorant we are partisan
