1 She said don't touch
The birds in the wheat fields
I will kill the hunter who will kill them
I would kill you even if it were you
And the violence of these words
Of this song of innocence
It makes me cry when I think about it.
2 Catherine the world has changed
The hunters are on the good side
For the birds there is not much more to do
They will kill the pigeons with nuclear power
The wheat fields of our childhood games
Will soon be like this desert
How can I keep quiet when I think about it.
br/>3 They are proud of their bombers
Of their soldiers, of their ideas
There are gulags for those who talk too much
There are medals for playing the heroes
There's not a song that can change things, no, nothing
It makes me sing when I think about it.
4 The masters of war are here
God is on their side you see
They disguise themselves behind their speeches
They lie to us a little more every day
When tears and blood
No longer have any meaning
I will go and pray if I think about it.
5 She said don't touch
The birds in the wheat fields
I will kill the hunter who kills them
I would kill you even if it was you
I wonder if she believes
Still in violence
Or if she still believes in love
It makes me doubt when I think about it.
