Lyrics
You've had such a sweet life
The times have been serene
But hatred always simmers
Angeline
Oh Angeline
So now the drums are beating
The missiles soon may fly
And the little boy you've cherished
May have to die
May have to die
Chorus:
So take all your irony and throw it on the ground
All of the detachment and dark humor that you've found
There's evil here among us, and there's danger all around
Oh Angeline, there's some sad times coming round
Oh Angeline, there's some bad times coming down
You cried when he enlisted
So tall and brave and true
Sweet memories of his childhood
Came back to you
Came back to you
And all the other mothers
Christian, Muslim, Jew
How will they find their children
When it's all through
When it's all through
CHORUS
Come down to earth, sweet Jesus
Mohammed, we're on our knees
Save your children from each other
Won't you please
Oh, can't you please
