C'est La Vie

A woman came and said to me

She'd seen a lady sell her baby

For ten or twenty dollars maybe

And everybody thinks she's crazy, they're too blind to see



She never failed to call attention

To the things we never mention

Real horror daily, courtesy of your TV, c'est la vie



A woman came and said to me, now listen very carefully

There's brother killing brother, people living on their knees

Biting sugar coated bullets for the pain of this disease



A woman came and said to me

She had a husband on an island

Found his body on a wasteland

Soldiers came and took him just to torture her you see

C'est la vie



All alone she mourned her lover

Crossed the sea to find a brother

Maybe he could help her get her baby back for free



A woman came and said to me, now listen very carefully

There's brother killing brother, people living on their knees

Biting sugar coated bullets for the pain of this disease

C'est la vie



A woman came and said to me, now listen very carefully

There's brother killing brother, people living on their knees

Biting sugar coated bullets for the pain of this disease

There's brother killing brother, people living on their knees

Biting sugar coated bullets for the pain of this disease



There's brother killing brother, c'est la vie

Sugar coated bullets, c'est la vie

There's brother killing brother, c'est la vie

Sugar coated bullets, c'est la vie

There's brother killing brother, c'est la vie, c'est la vie....
