A woman came and said to me She´d seen a lady sell her baby For ten or twenty dollars maybe And everybody thinks she´s crazy They´re too blind to see
She never failed to call attention To the things we never mention Real horror, daily, courtesy of your TV C´est La Vie
(CHORUS)
A woman came and said to me Now listen very carefully There´s brother killing brother People living on their knees Biting sugar coated bullets For the pain of this disease C´est La Vie
A woman came and said to me She had a husband on an island
Found his body on a wasteland Soldiers came and took him Just to torture her you see c´est la vie All alone she mourned her lover Crossed the sea to find a brother Maybe he could help her get her baby back for free
