"Driven To Tears"
Driven to Tears From the album Zenyatta Mondatta (A&M) Words and music by Sting
How can you say that you're not responsible? What does it have to do with me? What is my reaction, what should it be? Confronted by this latest atrocity
Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears
Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat My comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow meaningless party Seems that when some innocents die All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine Too many cameras and not enough food 'Cause this is what we've seen
Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears
Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through What's to become of our world, who knows what to do
Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears
Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears
"Bombs Away"
Bombs Away From the album Zenyatta Mondatta (A&M) Words and music by Stewart Copeland
The general scratches his belly and thinks His pay is good but his officers stink Guerilla girl, hard and sweet A military man would love to meet
The President looks in the mirror and speaks His shirts are clean but his country reeks Unpaid bills In Afghanistan hills
Bombs away But we're O.K. Bombs away In old Bombay
The general only wants to teach France to dance His army life doesn't give him any romance Guerilla girl, hard and sweet A military man would love to meet
The general scratches his belly and thinks His pay is good but his company stinks Guerilla girl, hard and sweet A military man would love to meet
Bombs away But we're O.K. Bombs away In old Bombay
Sadly, these songs are still as relevant as when they were originally released in 1980.
