The Sound Of A Gun

I have seen the diamond stylus
Cut a groove from north to south
Heard them calling from the islands for a better day
One by one they tell their story
One by one it's just the same
"They've taken our leaders
And all their believers are paralysed
And now we can't turn back - somebody is watching you
Don't turn round - yesterday's gone
And even the children are waking at midnight in tears
Didn't anyone hear Mother mother mother mother mother mother"
Hush child go to sleep it's only the sound of a gun
Hush child go to sleep it's only the sound of a gun
Looking out my bedroom window
I remember early days
When the shot that wounded millions took our breath away
But now the shadow of a gunman
With his balaclava eyes is making the news
Calling out the warnings on the telephone
"You're in the line of fire - wish there was another way
Line of fire - anything goes"
And who is the winner and what will the minister say
At the end of the day Never never never never never never never never
Hush child go to sleep it's only the sound of a gun
Hush child go to sleep it's only the sound of a gun
This is bella soma this is bella soma
This is bella soma this is bella soma
This is bella soma this is bella soma
Mother mother mother mother mother mother mother mother
Hush child go to sleep it's only the sound of a gun
Hush child go to sleep it's only the sound of a gun
Hush child go to sleep it's only the sound of a gun
Hush child do not weep
It's only the sound of a world on the run
You're hearing the sound of a gun
