The Real McKenzies - Whose Child is This
текст песни

The sun sets on the water
As the twilight fades away
Here beneath my favourite tree
I reflect upon the day
The mastermind, the patriot
Have claimed another soul
And while we made excuses
Someone's hopes and dreams they stole
Whose child is this they've laid to rest
In an unmarked grave
Whose mother has gone missing
What's the chance she'll be saved
Joe said someone got murdered
But you never blinked an eye
Cause that was in the ghetto
And they probably should have died
But now the rivers running red
And right to your front door
You can't condemn the scapegoat
They're not guilty anymore
You've made them into stars
That flash on your TV screen
You kill them for them their skin tone
But you know their money's green
You've laid the guideline for the game
To see who kills the most
A close up on the mother's tears
The killer gets the toast
