The moment you look away Your dreams will cease to be The minute you turn your back They'll sweep into the City And though you're only Trying to save yourselves From men in uniform There's no letting up They're brainwashed and they conform I saw the remnants of broken beauty I saw the mothers of children cry All the bridges and streets in ruins All the mourners of desperate lives And there used to be music and artists Who had rhythm and soul in their hearts But you can't take a power-crazed mad man And you can't stop the Army's advance The sound of distant gunfire The ghosts of days gone by The landscape of oppression Tell me why The beauty of the birdsong The silence all around The brand new optimism In this town I was the witness You were the witness We were the witnessed I was the witness
