A woman came and said to me 
 She'd seen a lady sell her baby 
 For ten or twenty dollars maybe 
 And everybody thinks she's crazy 
 They're too blind to see 
 She never failed to call attention 
 To the things we never mention 
 Real horror, daily, courtesy of your TV 
 C'est La Vie  
    A woman came and said to me 
 Now listen very carefully 
 There's brother killing brother 
 People living on their knees 
 Biting sugar coated bullets 
 For the pain of this disease 
 C'est La Vie    
 A woman came and said to me 
 She had a husband on an island 
 Found his body on a wasteland 
 Soldiers came and took him 
 Just to torture her you see 
 All alone she mourned her lover 
 Crossed the sea to find a brother 
 Maybe he could help her get her baby back for free 
 C'est La Vie
