A woman came and said to me She'd seen lady sell her baby For ten or twenty dollars maybe And everybody thinks she's crazy They're too blind see She never failed to call attention the things we never mention Real horror, daily, of your TV C'est La Vie
[Chorus:] A woman came and said me Now listen very carefully There's brother killing brother People living on their knees Biting sugar coated bullets For the pain of disease C'est La Vie
A woman came and said to me had a husband on an island his body on a wasteland Soldiers came and took him Just to torture her you see All alone she mourned her lover Crossed the to find a brother Maybe he could help her get her baby back for free La Vie
