Why?
Where were you when we needed you?
why didn't you answer our call?
why didn't you protect our women
and children
hiding behind the old church wall?
Why didn't you stop the killing?
you had the power to cry "enough"
or is it true what people are
saying?
you just don't give a stuff!
We want answers now,
we're surrounded by the horrors
of war
very soon the murderous swine
will come crashing through our
doors.
They'll smash their way in, nothing
is sacred
everything there for the taking
mothers, sisters and daughters,
even the bread that was baking.
Then they'll say in the name of
the state
that we will have to leave straight
away
we've got thirty minutes to pack
up and go
and the border's a long way away.
We're not asking for riches, just
our homes back
our needs are simple enough
just heed our pleas we beg of
you
or maybe you don't give a stuff.
