LET'S THROW US BASES INTO THE SEA

The saddest thing in days like these
is seeing always the same old faces
while everybody's history is changing
and all the great facts teach us this lesson:

Let's throw US bases into the sea,
let's give up being puppets of these killers
let's turn a twenty years long page,
let's go and regain our liberty

In this daily spiderweb of facts
we forget being comrades.
But there's a struggle that will never cease,
let's break the rules for our humanity

Let's throw US bases into the sea,
let's give up being puppets of these killers
let's turn a twenty years long page,
let's go and regain our liberty

It's no use wondering if we shall overcome
let's words take their time to wait
or maybe we're waiting for the red providence
so that others decide, while we've to be patient

Let's throw US bases into the sea,
let's give up being puppets of these killers
let's turn a twenty years long page,
let's go and regain our liberty

English version, expressly prepared by Riccardo Venturi on February 13, 2007, for the Anti-US Base demonstration in Vicenza.


I was born in a war
So they call me a war baby
I was born in a war
And it don't make me war crazy
And the guns start to roar
As the fire sweeps the street
Crazy

Why can't we walk the road together
And keep our children safe and sure

War - War Baby

And the war made us poor
Made our future unsure
Hazy

Why don't we run this race together
And keep our children safe and sure

But the arms race is on
And the tanks all roll out
All the guns are in place
We just wait for the shout
To arms, to arms

And the guns start to roar
From the ship to the shore
And the bombs start to fall
As we crouch in the hall
as they bust through the breach
Out on Omaha Beach

Why don't we run this road together
Why can't we hope to find a cure

But the arms race is on
And the tanks all roll out
All the guns are in place
As we wait for the shout
And the army sweeps on and on
And the navy sails out
As we rush to the edge
As we wait for the shout
To arms, to arms

War - War Baby

War Baby
