Waiting For The Fall Letra

Helicopter missiles launch The ground rumbles Apartment complex shakes Just before it crumbles Children scream and die Wrong time, wrong place A woman wears a shawl That covers the scar upon her face A boy looks through a pool of blood And prays to see the day When the armies of the infidels Will once more go away (Chorus) And everybody?s just Waiting for the fall Outside the Green Zone Through the machine gun turrets On the other side of the wall The lights go out again The city swelters in the heat A thousand ghosts are weeping Amid the pockmarked street No food in the markets You can?t reap grain that you can?t sow A no-man?s land the Red Cross Doesn?t dare to go A soldier shoots at everything Acting like the master race All the while wondering What he?s doing in this place (Chorus) No gas in the gas tanks Lines a mile long A nation turned to rubble Where everything?s gone wrong Death squads roam the alleys Looking for the eye Of anyone who dares to say A lie is just a lie The torturers are torturing In a prison cell Flushing Korans down the toilet Saying all praise be to Shell (Chorus) Humvee fires Someone fires back A sound that lets you know You?re somewhere in Iraq Surgeons with no medicine Wonder what to do And ask how things might be If the outside world knew And in an ivory tower in Texas They?re toasting the New Year Not knowing there?s a country Far away from here (Chorus) Where everybody?s just?
