Children of Dust

歌詞

It started off as innocent fun A stranger in a foreign land A boy with a gun and no name Seeks compassion with a girl in hand When your conscience taps you on the shoulder You'll be a little wiser and older Not even we can save the children of dust Not even we can save the children of dust Well, not even we can save the children of dust Task completed but you lost face Returning home the conquering savior The little girl who lives next door Takes a shine to your cool behavior When your conscience taps you on the shoulder You'll be a little wiser and older Not even we can save the children of dust Not even we can save the children of dust Well, not even we can save the children of dust [Incomprehensible] A steady job and a nice clean house Part of your parents' scheming The past will always catch you out In 'Nam a child is screaming When your conscience taps you on the shoulder You'll be a little wiser and older Not even we can save the children of dust Not even we can save the children of dust Well, not even we can save the children of dust Youth has gone now, the past is settled You'll pay for that night of lust A million miles, a promise And a child of the dust When your conscience taps you on the shoulder You'll be a little wiser and older Not even we can save the children of dust Not even we can save the children of dust Well, not even we can save the children of dust [Incomprehensible]
