Текст (слова) песни: Manic Street Preachers - Song Of Those Who Died In Vain
(Primo Levi [1919 - 1987]) Sit down and bargain All you like grizzled old foxes We`ll wall you up in a splendid palace With food, wine, good beds and a good fire Provided that you discuss, negotiate For our and your children`s lives May all the wisdom of the universe Converge to bless your minds And guide you in the maze But outside in the cold we will be waiting for you The army of those who died in vain We of the Marne, of Montecassino Treblinka, Dresden and Hiroshima And with us will be The leprous and the people with trachoma The disappeared ones of Buenos Aires Dead Cambodians and dying Ethiopians The Prague negotiatiors The bled dry of Calcutta The innocents slaughtered in Bologna Heaven help you if you come out disagreeing You`ll be clutched tight in our embrace We are invincible because we are the conquered Invulnerable because already dead We laugh at your missiles Sit down and bargain Until your tongues are dry If the havoc and the shame continue We`ll drown you in our putrefaction Primo Levi 14th January 1985 Poem published by Faber & Faber Ltd.
