| Ko Kra (Bloem/Chielie) download mp3 (9.462 kB) file includes lyric (embedded ID3v2 synchronized) Could we live that long Amidst the tidal waves on a barren rock? How can we hold our peace, forever the brave And let them have their stock? Schweizer on Ko Kra, the man, the tsunami And a whole world deaf, dumb and blind To the drunken belch and the gale of laughter As he rapes her, from behind The pain without the pleasure, rococo ribs on the rocks This grief beyond our measure The strands of her beautiful locks Would we do the same Jump from safety into a raging sea? How would we banish our fear And become the tear cried over a refugees plea? Would we rather put our lives at stake Than stay home for afternoon tea? Schweizer on Ko Kra, the force of compassion And a world that shuts its eyes To the cries of pain, and the sounds of torture And a million political lies The pain without the pleasure, rococo ribs on the rocks This grief cannot be measured By the number of people it shocks Can you feel the pain behind the words I sing Or are you irritated, like the Thai by Schweizer Or hurt by the verbal sting? Would you rather save some people here Than forget the whole damn thing? Well, forget then this island, the people, the storms Like the whole world deaf, dumb and blind To the drunken roar and the gale of laughter As you erase this from your mind The pain without the pleasure, rococo ribs on the rocks This grief that knows no measure The strands of her beautiful locks But can you live that long With the knowledge of this cruel rock? Can you hold your peace, forever the brave And let them keep their stock, and Will you sleep that sound in the blood of hundreds Counting away a jumping flock? (now you can go where people are one) (now you can go where they get things done) |
