Victims of the world

Shooting pains are flowing into me
if I slay back the next page of the paper
who’s telling me that the world
have been cleaning to get rid
of a dull country oversea

And they use armies full of young ones
Who’s lifes are just for free

(refrein)
Turn off, all lights in the white house
or do you want me to tell
a little bed time story
allthough then, you might feel unwell?
there once was
this little girl
growing up in world war three
she will regret some day
the timid ones who got hurt
are always you and me
so good night dear Mister
give yourself some rest
and you will never notice
those convicts who fail the test

Last week I was thinking
maybe it’s a nice idea
if you would say in one of your speeches
Soldiers, isn’t it smart to scribe your last will
before the beginning of the kill

REFREIN

What on earth made me so naive
to think ‘the art of printing is invented’
cuz if it was, people would have known
nobody has a good day
if they find a bomb while they pray

REFREIN

Nowadays it’s handy
to ask yourself the question
are corpses also liable to duty?
O I hope people don’t have that right
because of all the violence in this fight

REFREIN

I’d better put the tv off
cuz it won’t be a dainty
the moment you present the list
that is providing information
about the sickness of situation

How it can be possible?
That there are so many people
victims of the words
spooken through one men
followed by many others
who’ve got a safe home, safe bed
and freedom

REFREIN

You can do me a favour
by waking me up when you’ve done your best
to make your world a safer place
instead of holding your hands
in the pockets of your star-striped vest

How can it be possible?
That there are so many people
victims of the world
created by one man
followed by many others
who live in a safe country, safe surrounding
and peace

RFREIN

(bridge)
Creatures living in a jail of danger
fighting for something
they don’t even know
they don’t even met
until they regret
they are hoping for nothing

REFREIN

We’re all
victims of the words in the world
victims of the words in the world
victims of the words
in this world

Was het nou zo slecht :confused: ?? of is het gewoon te lang om te lezen?

Het Engels is inderdaad niet om over naar huis te schrijven, verder klinkt het een beetje kinderachtig. Probeer eens wat in het Nederlands te schrijven. Engels is wel 'veiliger', het komt niet zo direct over, maar mist door gebrek aan niveau vaak lading. Misschien dicht je wel altijd in het Engels, maar ik denk dat je met een beetje oefening veel betere Nederlandse gedichten kunt schrijven. Je kunt veel meer nuances aanbrengen en gevoelens zijn voor het publiek vaak ook beter herkenbaar.

owke tnx voor je reaxi: je hebt waarschijnlijk ook gelijk. zoals je kunt zien schrijf ik normaal gesproken ook in het nederlands: ik heb eerder 2 nederlandste songteksten gepost. mijn engels is inderdaad niet echt je van het ben ik bang.. ;)
