about
This is a rough recording of a rehearsal (seven or so years ago!), with Si Fish on percussion and Pete Brandt on guitar. I began this song at least 30 years ago soon after the birth of my oldest niece.
lyrics
Sorry kid
Your hair is gonna curl
When you see what did to the world
When it was our turn to play with it
It’s your turn now
We got it too hot
And the sea got too high
And we burned a little hole in the sky
We finished the oil
And we borrowed the trees
And we've gone and lost some songbirds and butterflies and bees
I’m sorry baby, sorry kid
We didn't mean to do it
But we did
I’m sorry baby, sorry kid
For what we did
Got it rather dirty and a bit more blood stained
We took it all to bits we can't fit together again
And we wrote our names on the DNA
And we swapped a future for a day
We wanted love, we wanted to be free
Instead of love we made pornography
We wanted happiness and peace
So we put our wars further east
Instl
We wanted to end hunger and poverty
We gave out credit cards for free
We wanted justice and equality
Sorry baby, I'm sorry kid
We didn't mean to do it
But we did
Sorry baby, sorry kid
That you must live with what we did
