Electric Light Orchestra - Kuiama Lyrics
My my kuiama, she came in the morningShe smiled but the tears on her little faceShowed the pain that had been in that far off placeSo sad, treated so badMy my kuiama, dont break your heart tryinTo say how your ma and your pa passed awayAnd they left you to wander the ruin and decayReal mean, that bullet machineSee here kuiama, now ten thousand milesIs a long long way and youre here todayAnd you wont go back so you might sayHello, how do you doKuia stop your cryin, theres no bombs afallinNo horsemen in the night aridin through your dreams and tearing at your lifeBaby goodnightNo more silver rain will hit your groundAnd no more guns will soundAnd no more life be drownedNo more trenches where the soldiers lieAnd no more people dieBeneath that big black skyWake up kuiama, I got somethin to tell youIts just that I mean, well that is to say,That Im trying to explain but Ill start again,For you, I must be true.Kuia in this country, they got rules with no reasonThey teach you to kill and they send you awayWith your gun in your hand, you pick up your paySo cool, that no mercy toolKuia please believe me? I just couldnt help myself.I wanted to run but they gave me a gunAnd they told me the duty I owed to my fatherland.I made my stand.Kuia I just shot them, I just blew their heads open,And I heard them scream in their agonyKuiama she waits there for meTrue blue, you saw it through.
