Quote of the day - Human League / The Lebanon

She dreams of nineteen sixty-nine
Before the soldiers came
The life was cheap on bread and wine
And sharing meant no shame
She is awakened by the screams
Of rockets flying from nearby
And scared she clings onto her dreams
To beat the fear that she might die
And who will have won when the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon, the Lebanon
Before he leaves the camp he stops
He scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is where the snipers sometimes hide
He left his home the week before
He thought hed be like the police
But now he finds he is at war
Werent we supposed to keep the peace
And who will have won when the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon, the Lebanon
I must be dreaming, it cant be true




A canção é de 1984. 22 anos depois parece que está tudo na mesma.

(Só o clip é que parece hoje ainda pior e mais absurdo do que quando foi feito)

Realmente a História e mesmo as estórias são cíclicas, joe!
