lyrics

In Green and Blue Berets
(E-761, July 11, 1995)

Surface tranquility, underground heat
On sidewalk cafés, and cobblestone streets
Whispers of war, victory and defeat
Not so far away
Not so far away

National identity, refugee camps
Police everywhere, and beggar tramps
Young soldiers doing the salvation dance
In green and blue berets
Not so far away

Sitting in the sun, listening to the chatter
Casualties of hope, then nothing else matters
Hyperinflation, economy in tatters
One more cut in pay

Round marble tables, coffee or tea
From where I sit it's impossible to see
Why such a place needs an enemy
No one here can say

There seems more shock than there is blame
In the eyes of those whose homes were in flames
But for the ones in the easy part of the game
It’s just another day
Not so far away
