(kirsty maccoll/johnny marr)<br><br>Children of the revolution coming out to play<br>Bombers ripped the night apart and blew the school away<br>Some live on the south side and they overlook the water<br>Some live on the north side and they're looking at the border<br>And those children of the revolution see the soldiers come<br>Smiling at the widows as they take away the sons<br>Children of the revolution shot down with a brand new gun<br>They're dropping down like flies and in their eyes<br>The images of war are in their eyes<br>They've seen it all before and know your lies<br>Won't keep their bellies full<br>In love and war there are no rules<br><br>Children of the revolution getting off the boat<br>To face the ignorance and prejudice that keep this land afloat<br>Children of the revolution make a brand new start<br>Running through the rubble of a thousand broken hearts and in their eyes<br>All promises are broken in their eyes<br>The words that can't be spoken and your lies<br>Don't keep their bellies full<br>In love and war there are no rules<br>But in their eyes<br>Murder comes by sea and from the skies<br>It's shiny and it's quick to take their lives<br>And if it's cruel in love and war there are no rules<br><br>Children of the revolution coming out to play<br>Someone sells a gun and someone blows them all away<br>Children of the revolution sold out by the banks<br>Who swap the green upon the dollars for the green upon the tanks<br>Children of the revolution shot down by a brand new gun
