GBH - Children Of The Dust lyrics
[GBH - Children Of The Dust lyrics]
A stranger in a foreign land
A boy with a gun and no name
Seeks compassion with a girl in hand
When your conscience taps you on the shoulder
You'll be a little wiser and older
Not even we can save the children of dust
Not even we can save the children of dust
Well not even we can save
The children of dust
Task completed but you lost face
Returning home the conquering saviour
The little girl who lives next door
Takes a shine to your cool behaviour
A steady job and a nice clean house
Part of your parents scheming
The past will always catch you out
In 'Nam a child is screaming
Youth has gone now, the past is settled
You'll pay for that night of lust
A million miles, a promise
And a child of dust
