Occupied Tears
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I forgot to bring you roses
When you hit the floor
Your nouveau poses
Asking for war
Have you forgot the wall?
I've foreseen it all
We've foreseen it all
Holocaust, you've tasted great fear
How could you just occupy another child's tear?
Don't you all know?
Don't you all care?
Don't you all see how this is unfair?
Are we all blind? Do we not see?
Do we not bleed?
Faint cries of lost limbs.
Mimes surrounded by mines.
Without warning signs of the great sacrifice.
Holocaust, you've tasted great fear
How could you just occupy another child's tear?
Don't you all know?
Don't you all care?
Don't you all see how this isn't fair?
Are we all blind? Do we not see?
Do we not bend to misery?
Of course we all know
Of course we all care
Of course we all see how this is unfair
We are not blind
Yes, we do see
It's time to end this misery
It's time to go up to bed
No more sipping on our regret
Tuck the kids in without worry
No more running out in a hurry
No more bombs falling over head
No more sirens predicting death
Yes, it's the two-state solution
No more glaring through oblivion
Asking for war
Have you forgot the wall?
I've foreseen it all
We've foreseen it all
Holocaust, you've tasted great fear
How could you just occupy another child's tear?
Don't you all know?
Don't you all care?
Don't you all see how this is unfair?
Are we all blind?
Do we not see?
Do we not bend to misery?
Of course we all know
Of course we all care
Of course we all see how this is unfair
We are not blind
Yes, we do see
It's time to end this misery
It's no mystery
It's no mystery
