Stiff Little Fingers - When The Stars Fall From The Sky lyrics

Mid-October, sixty one The French Police were having fun Cutting down Algerians Breaking heads all over town Yet no-one saw and no-one knew No-one dared to speak the truth 200 dead became just two Sweep them in the river The witnesses were run to the ground Put the ba*tards underground Buried every black in town Who dared to show their face [Chorus:] When the stars fall from the sky When the world cannot make me cry That's when the scales will fall from your eyes And let you see the truth Boipitong in ninety two Subjected to a murder crew Well trained policemen charging through A crowd that's armed with slogans Yet no-one saw and no help came And no-one wants to take the blame These people that you try to tame Will get round to you later The protesters were run to the ground Put the ba*tards underground Buried every black in town Who dared to raise his voice Every day around the world The voice of truth cannot be heard Men and women disappear They have to live their life in fear Yet something makes them stand and shout One day they will find you out Dig up every fact in town And shove them in your face
