Child of the Universe

Lyrics

[Verse] I'm a child of South Africa I'm a child of Vietnam I'm a child of Northern Ireland I'm a small boy with blood on his hands [Chorus] Yes, I'm a child of the universe Yes, I'm a child of the universe You can see me on the TV every night Always there to join in someone else's fight [Bridge] I didn't ask to be born, and I don't ask to die I'm an endless scream, a gene machine That cannot reason why [Chorus] Yes, I'm a child of the universe Yes, I'm a child of the universe You can see me on the TV every day I'm the child next door three thousand miles away [Verse] I'm a child of South Africa I'm a child of Vietnam I'm a child of Northern Ireland I'm a small boy with blood on his hands [Chorus] Yes, I'm a child of the universe Yes, I'm a child of the universe You can see me on the TV every night Always there to join in someone else's fight [Bridge] I didn't ask to be born, and I don't ask to die I'm an endless scream, a gene machine That cannot reason why [Chorus] Yes, I'm a child of the universe Yes, I'm a child of the universe You can see me on the TV every day I'm the child next door three thousand miles away [Guitar Solo]
