lyrics

Shot down in the street (lyric)

Long have we all waited

Many times have we seen

In the eyes of the labourers

In the eyes of the neighbours

A feeling that leaves none to guess
who’s been doing what for who
and when for less

And who’s been left out there
with dust on his dead feet

Shot down in the street

Look right at the sunset
Look left and pour the tea

Look on in amazement

Milk first and mass crazy here

Nowhere else in the world can you see so many monsters and mutations that creep out so efficiently
And leave you wandering what happened to all those sacred things
They got shot down in the street


New morning, new morning

Old ways get away

But here in my cradle

I lie incapable

I’m a white boy who looked at his life gathered in his hands
And saw it was all due to the sweat of some other man

That one who got shot down in the street
