One Small Step

From the sky would fall an incessant rain of bombs We had nowhere to go but retreat underground Our ground had been peppered with loads of mines Growing our food was a risk at any time The sudden brutality we had to confront Forced us many years to a life into the ground When I came out after having hidden for so long under I found I was missing all sensation of sight It was so dark underground we had seen no light for days What was visible how there was the enemy The fact that they were fighting against their better nature Our voices had been buried to For we had not to speak a word for days on end But what we learned was so strong They could never win, they're wrong Scared of a ghost, the right to kill They went nowhere, had no wisdom Humiliation came back flying into their face They lost themselves The right to kill, scared of a ghost Right to be blind, nothing but trust --- One Small Step - Stereolab
