Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind

[ودالشقلة]

Twelve pairs hanging high,
Twelve knights riding by,
Each knight took a pear,
And yet left a dozen there.

[ودالشقلة]

هذه القصيدة تذكرني يا طالع النخلة جيب لي معاك بقرة .

[ودالشقلة]

Jerry Lee Lewis

IF you have a war
No MAT-ter what for
You gotta EN-tertain the people who pay.
Make a BIG show of force
With big ex-PLO-sions, of course
For them to LOOK at the end of the day.

Tell them we’re CARE-ful with the killin’
No women or children
Yeah, ON-ly the BAD GUYS die.
And IF we don’t quite manage
The col-LAT-eral damage…
WELL, at least we GAVE it a try.

If the CA-sualty figures
Keep GET-ting much bigger
People MAY not be so MAR-tially inclined.
But if the CAMERAS are forbidden
And you KEEP the caskets hidden,
It MAY be out of SIGHT out of mind
Out of sight, out of mind. Repeat

The NUM-bers are rising.
There’s no HOPE on the horizon.
And it SEEMS we have worn out our wel-come.
The I-RA-qis don’t want us;
The in-SUR-gents just taunt us.
WE all may just HAVE to go home.

You can TELL another lie
Bout WHY good people die
But you can ON-ly fool the PEO-ple so long.
Once they REAL-ly look at WAR
They won’t WANT it any-MORE
And THAT’s the whole POINT of this song.

Out of sight, out of mind. Repeat

You gotta KNOW what’s going on
Before the CHANCE to change is gone;
Don’t STICK your head way DOWN in the sand.
So YOU and me together
WILL determine whether
We’re GON-na have peace in this land. (Repeat last 3 lines.)
