How Many Tears Lyrics
LyricsSuggest a correction ↗
[Verse 1]
Gunmetal grey for golden rules
White hot steel for the comfort of fools
Molten wills in iron hands
Forge new sons for the Motherland
[Chorus 1]
And how many tears will fall down
How many tears must fall
[Verse 2]
Hidden mounds in jungle dust
Youthful voices forever lie hushed
Poets and peasants know the truth
But what in the world can one man do
[Chorus 2]
And how many tears must fall down
And how many tears must fall
How many tears will stain this ground
And how many tears must fall
[Bridge]
A mother's eyes ache with her hatred
Her lips they are crippled with fear
She waits for the news that she don't want to hear
How many tears
How many tears
How many tears must fall down
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
[Verse 3]
Ain't no funerals
Ain't no prayers
Ain't no blood in the Government Square
Reign of terror
True and tried
Dries the eyes before they've cried
[Chorus]
And how many tears will fall down
And how many tears must fall
How many tears will stain this ground
And how many tears must fall
[Outro]
How many tears
How many tears
How many tears will fall down
How many tears will fall down
How many tears will fall down
