XTC - The Troubles

The Troubles
XTC

Well hush my children don't you cry
The troubles will soon all be over
Will fall to the ground and bring clover
The same as in Durban or Dover
The tears that swell in every eye
The troubles will soon all be over

The soldiers are only teenage boys
So rein aside all your warring toys

Well hush my children go to sleep
Their leaders are only drunk with fear
The troubles will soon all be over
Their bombs will form a rusting heap
For flowers and fern to grow over

They wouldn't do this be they sober
And when they drink our friendship clear
The troubles will soon all be over
