Warchild
(专辑: Sincerely Tory - 2012)
It's painful you know, the
situation I
am now telling my story is not easy to talk about it But I
found a
way which I
can talk about it through the
music Feel me gun, feel me knife And me bullets to take the
life from me Feel me drugs to try and fight All my memories of the
night and day I
often ask myself to run away I'm still ashamed that I
ain't done it yet I'm still feel bad from when they come my way Good living in the
summer day 'Cause I'm a
war child, yeah There ain't no love for no war child, yeah Watch your back, lay 'em down Pull the
trigger, bang Pull me on the
floor, bang me on the
kitchen sink Why you can't fight? Tell me why they have to go Take me to your village and prepare me for the
war Living sin, living walls This is my fear now Mama dead, father cried Try to find a
way to people that like me inside This the
war, ain't no stopping now Bodies on the
floor, children on them bodies When you hear the
roar, who is causing that? Oh that just be me you must of got me in the
eye 'Cause I'm a
war child, yeah There ain't no love for no war child, yeah Watch your back, lay 'em down Pull the
trigger, bang Pull me on the
floor, bang me on the
kitchen sink Why you can't fight? Tell me why they have to go Take me to your village and prepare me for the
war [Interviewer:] When you were a
kid going through this stuff, you were going through it even as a
child, did you lose hope and faith? [Tory:] A
point where I
lose, I
want to shoot myself. You know, a
couple of times I
cock my gun and I
put it on my head and [Interviewer:] "And how old were you?" [Tory:] I
was uh, the
time I
did that I
think I
was 11 and a
half. And sometime, I
don't know what stopped me. Something told me to die, Nigel, don't die because you are shooting yourself. And that's the
situation, one of the
situation you know about part of the
story I
told you I
was almost hitting my friend. There was so many things going on in my head. A
place, I'm walking in the
desert, when we had no water and so I
was so thirsty and I
wanted to finish myself
