Victims

Didn't know she was crying



Until now as she turns to look at me



She said, "Boy, o' boy



You bring tears to my eyes"



I said, "What?"



She said, "Boy, o' boy



You bring tears to my eyes"



Bob Marley said



"How long shall they kill our prophets



While we stand aside and look"



But little did he know that



Eventually the enemy



Will stand aside and look



While we slash and kill our own brothers



Knowing that already



They are the victims of the situation



Still licking wounds from brutality



Still licking wounds from humiliation



She said all these words and the



Wrinkles on her face became



Perfect trails for the tears and she said



We are the victims every time



We got double trouble every time



We are the victims every time



We got double trouble every time



We are the victims every time



We got double trouble every time



She took me outside to the churchyard



Showed me graves on the ground and she said



There lies a man who fought for equality



There lies a boy who died in his struggle



Can all these heroes die in vain



While we slash and kill our own brothers



Knowing that already they are the



Victims of the situation



Still licking wounds from brutality



Still licking wounds from humiliation



We are the victims every time



We got double trouble every time



We are the victims every time



We got double trouble every time



We are the victims every time



We got double trouble every time
