20th Century Baby

20th  Century Baby

20th century baby

Conceived and born

In War

Millions of your

Brothers killed

While you were just

A boy

For not until you

Came to life

That war became so real

For men talked not

In terms of life 

They talked of

OverKill

They went from 

Stick and Stones

And broke many bones

From arrows 

And the gun

So by the time

You were born

They had moved

To the Bomb

But you're not to blame

Oh child of Space

You're just an actor

A stage

And when the bullets

Of War pierce

Your heart

Time

Will

Turn
