A woman came and said to me
She'd seen a lady sell her baby
For ten or twenty dollars maybe
And everybody thinks she's crazy, they're too blind to see

She never failed to call attention
To the things we never mention
Real horror daily, courtesy of your TV, c'est la vie

A woman came and said to me, now listen very carefully
There's brother killing brother, people living on their knees
Biting sugar coated bullets for the pain of this disease

A woman came and said to me
She had a husband on an island
Found his body on a wasteland
Soldiers came and took him just to torture her you see
C'est la vie

All alone she mourned her lover
Crossed the sea to find a brother
Maybe he could help her get her baby back for free

A woman came and said to me, now listen very carefully
There's brother killing brother, people living on their knees
Biting sugar coated bullets for the pain of this disease
C'est la vie

A woman came and said to me, now listen very carefully
There's brother killing brother, people living on their knees
Biting sugar coated bullets for the pain of this disease
There's brother killing brother, people living on their knees
Biting sugar coated bullets for the pain of this disease

There's brother killing brother, c'est la vie
Sugar coated bullets, c'est la vie
There's brother killing brother, c'est la vie
Sugar coated bullets, c'est la vie
There's brother killing brother, c'est la vie, c'est la vie....
