When The Stars Fall From The Sky

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 bastards 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 bastards 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
