Am
It was a slow day
Am C D
And the sun was beating
Am C D C D C D D
On the soldiers by the side of the road

There was a bright light

A shattering of shop windows

The bomb in the baby carriage was wired to the radio

Am
It was a dry wind
Am C D
And it swept across the desert
Am C D C D C D D
And it curled into the circle of birth
Am
And the dead sand
Am C D
Falling on the children
Am C D C D C D D
The mothers and the fathers and the automatic earth

Medicine is magical and magical is art

Think of the Boy in the Bubble

And I believe, these are the days of lasers in the jungle

Lasers in the jungle somewhere

Staccato signals of constant information

A loose affiliation of millionaires and billionaires and baby
