Child of the universe - Barkley James Harvest


I'm a child of South Africa
I'm a child of Vietnam
I'm a child of Northern Ireland
I'm a small boy with blood on his hands
Yes I'm a child of the universe
Yes I'm a child of the universe
You can see me on the TV every night
Always there to join in someone else's fight
I didn't ask to be born and I don't ask to die
I'm an endless dream, a gene machine
That cannot reason why
Yes I'm a child of the universe
Yes I'm a child of the universe
You can see me on the TV every day
I'm the child next door three thousand miles away


(gotta pay to listen to it, so just the lyrics)

A hit in the UK for a throwaway outfit called Paper Lace when I was about 12. Lyrics made an impression on me, though.

An obvious choice, I know, but an absolute tragedy that the character depicted in the song would likely support Trump now.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Shipbuilding kills me. Seriously

We did this 12 years ago, nobody cared then and nobody cares now but still, 100% anti-war song

[Humberto]

Starts off obviously satanic. Then they shit themselves on reflection. As would anyone if you had enough about them. 'Judgement day' spoken cannot be undone, or braved out. Or rebelled against.
