A Child of a Few Hours Is Burning to Death by The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1968

[Verse 1]
A child of a few hours
Is burning to death
Her eyes are full of smoke
Her mouth is full of fire
Napalm is perfect
For women and children
Forgive us, forgive us

[Chorus]
We should have called Suzy and Bobby
They like to watch fires

[Verse 2]
Pretend it's not happening
It will be clipped
Out of tomorrow's news show
After the funeral
After the feast, baby
With so many bodies
At our feet
[Chorus]
We should have called Suzy and Bobby
They like to watch fires

[Verse 3]
We all are nothing
But soft, moist people
With soft, moist hands
Folded over our buttons
Silently sleeping
Cold and unmoving
Doing nothing

[Chorus]
We should have called Suzy and Bobby
They like to watch fires

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
A child of a few hours
Is burning to death
Her eyes are full of smoke
Her mouth is full of fire
Napalm is perfect
For women and children
