Lyrics
0:29A woman came and said to me
0:31She'd seen a lady sell her baby
0:36For ten or twenty dollars maybe
0:41And everybody thinks she's crazy
0:45They're too blind to see
0:51She never failed to call attention
0:53To the things we never mention
0:55Real horror, daily, courtesy of your tv
1:02C'est la vie
1:07A woman came and said to me
1:09Now listen very carefully
1:12There's brother killing brother
1:14People living on their knees
1:16Biting sugar coated bullets
1:18For the pain of this disease
1:20C'est la vie
1:27A woman came and said to me
1:29She had a husband on an island
1:33Found his body on a wasteland
1:37Soldiers came and took him
1:39Just to torture her you see
1:51All alone she mourned her lover
1:53Crossed the sea to find a brother
1:55Maybe he could help her get her baby back for free
1:59C'est la vie
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 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 All alone she mourned her lover Crossed the sea to find a brother Maybe he could help her get her baby back for free C'est la vie
