Black Boys on Mopeds

Album: The Essential Sinéad O'Connor Durasi: 3:52
[00:14.20]Margaret Thatcher on TV
[00:19.40]Shocked by the deaths that took place in Beijing
[00:26.95]It seems strange that she should be offended
[00:33.89]The same orders are given by her
[00:42.79]I've said this before now
[00:47.15]You said I was childish and you'll say it now
[00:56.94]"Remember what I told you
[01:02.84]If they hated me they will hate you"
[01:11.24]England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
[01:20.14]It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
[01:27.08]And I love my boy and that's why I'm leaving
[01:34.04]I don't want him to be aware that there's any such thing as grieving
[01:45.01]Young mother down at Smithfield
[01:50.17]5 a.m., looking for food for her kids
[01:57.92]In her arms she holds three cold babies
[02:04.72]And the first word that they learned was "please"
[02:14.75]🎵
[02:16.94]These are dangerous days
[02:21.46]To say what you feel is to dig your own grave
[02:31.17]"Remember what I told you
[02:36.09]If you were of the world they would love you"
[02:45.48]England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
[02:54.02]It's the home of police who kill blacks boys on mopeds
[03:00.92]And I love my boy and that's why I'm leaving
[03:08.08]I don't want him to be aware that there's any such thing as grieving
