lyrics

WILL BE GONE TOMORROW

You've decided
To do a good deed today
Packing your staff neatly like no one else
Like a monk who sets off at dawn
Your mum hugs you tight
Your dad fills up with pride
Friends pat your shoulder
Pretending they don't know how old you are
New war, new aim, new words
What was yesterday is fading away
You don't need to get it right
The wind blowing your hair
Little Walker has made you feel rage
You go to the East you hear desert calling
Laurel wreath on your head
Tight uniform on your puffed out chest
Come back soon tell us all the stuff
You must learn what's important today

Pale face, emotionally drained
People with flowers welcome you
Everyone's waiting, chewing on their lips
Elegant dresses shining in the sun
Medal held in hands waiting to be pinned

Oh, you've arrived in the end
The plane is taxiing like a bird
You won't appear at the door on your own
They've sent you back to your mum
In a box like a birthday gift
Covered with a flag
With lovely Stars and Stripes
They won't forget you fast
Mr President assures your mom
He extends his sweaty palm
But memory is so short
The same old story all the time
There's nothing you can do
We come up with ideas
You come back in a chest
Yes, boy, without a chance

Screaming Earth Warsaw, Poland

The Screaming Earth band asks uncomfortable questions. Their music doesn’t tell you how to live, but makes you think about it. They reveal what has been uncomfortable for a long time. What is happening to the world and people ? Where are we heading ? Is our time limited ? Their words are the scream of the whole planet. You might call them dreamers but for sure they are not the only ones ! ... more
