SARAJEVO Listen
Listenin to the politicians again
we never learn
we never ever ever learn
and so we burn.
Every single time
we listen to the politicians
every time
not some of the time
not most of the time
but every single time
and we never ever learn.
Let's jump in
again.
Jump in.
"Let's see Tango Bravo,
which one of them towns is Sarajevo, anyway?"
"How the hell would I know Charley Foxtrot
I can't even tell the good guys from the bad guys."
"Who are the bad guys, anyway?"
"Is that a UN tank down there???"
"Does the driver have a blue hat?"
"Roger Wilco. Fire! Fire!"
"Uh--I think--uh--I may be hit...???"
"Que'st que c'est Monsieur Tango Brovo?"
"Fire! Fire!"
