Текст песни: 1991 + перевод

You should’ve seen it

You won’t believe it

I’ve seen it all tonight

This old machine’s a box full of dreams

A world through a screen of light

When man on the news delivered the blues

We knew everything would be all right

'Cause we’re safe in the glare of all the dispair

Baby, it’s all right

There’s a man who kills a man with his hands

On the telly

On the telly

Well I hope he’s having fun

There’s a man who shoots a man with a gun

On the telly

On the telly

Well I hope’s he’s having fun

We got no books

And we got no culture

We got nowhere to play

We had a future

We had our youth

And we gave it all away

But I miss all the times you sat down beside me

Looking for the

And the lives that we lived were all in the script

It was always

There’s a man who kills a man with his hands

On the telly

On the telly

Well I hope he’s having fun

White police attack a man in Los Angeles

On the telly

On the telly

And it was 1991

And we saw everything

And we saw everything

As the innocence left our bones

We saw everything

We saw everything

We saw the bombs and the tanks and the rockets and the volcanoes

There’s a man who kills a man with his hands

On the telly

On the telly

Well I hope he’s having fun

As the prince and the princess say goodbye

On the telly

On the telly

Soon forever she’ll be gone

There’s a man who finds a virus in his blood

On the telly

On the telly

But the magic lingered on

There’s a thief who freed himself into the sea

On the telly

On the telly

And the child I was is gone

It was 1991
