Tom Flannery - Bikindi текст песни

What if I used this song to hate
Would you still dance around the room?
Sweeping away the dirt as though
Your feet were like a broom
WhatifIused this song as a call to arms
On the airwaves here and now
Would you pick up the knife or the gun
If I told you how?

What if I used this song to hide
Behind the words I say
If I said "after all, it's just a song"
Would you look the other way?
What if I used this song to excuse
The things that I've been told
From the day that I was born
Until the day that I grew old

Bikindi is my name
Bikindi is my name
Love will prevail over hatred
Only the killing will remain

What if I used this song to burn
Your house down to the ground
And where your children once looked to the sky
They now stare at the ground
What if I used this song to kill
Would you pay for my third car?
Maybe you just feel like dancing
Or would just love to be a star

Bikindi is my name
Bikindi is my name
Love will prevail over hatred
Only the killing will remain
