lyrics

INNOCENT PEOPLE

What happened to the world I knew?
It’s getting darker every day
I thought that change was gonna come
Did I get fooled again?
I know its always darkest before the dawn
But I don’t have a hope to know what’s going on
There seems to be so much left unexplained
And all the while there’s precious lives being lost again

Innocent people get caught up in the crossfire everyday
Innocent people get caught up in the crossfire and they never walk away

It’s not their fight, its not their cause
They’re just casualties of fate
Victims of a mindless greed
Targets of bitter hate
I cry for someone’s mother and someone’s son
I cry for my sister sweet liberty’s gone
Next time it could be someone I trust and need
There’s no knowin’, cos one day it might be me

Innocent people get caught up in the crossfire everyday
Innocent people get caught up in the crossfire and they never walk away

You deal in guns and dirty cash
What a wicked web you weave
You make your people live in fear
Divide and then deceive
But you don’t feel the guilt. You feel no shame
Blood on your hands, but you ain’t to blame
It’s all for profit. It’s all for loss
But it ain’t you who cries the tears and bears the cross

Innocent people get caught up in the crossfire everyday
Innocent people get caught up in the crossfire and they never walk away

about

Ajay Srivastav image

Ajay Srivastav London, UK

Described in the music press as ground-breaking, Ajay’s soulful, stirring songs are the product of a crossfire hurricane of influences, drawing equally from the Mississippi Delta that sired the Blues and the Varanasi Ghats where prayers, birth-rites and coming-of-age ceremonies are performed beside the Ganges. ... more
