David Rovics - Berlin lyrics

I saw it in a photo It said all I need to know It's an image that has followed me Wherever I may go When I stare into your eyes I can only guess at where you've been Looking at the skyline of Berlin The buildings are all shattered As in a silent roar The streets are all just rubble The year is 1944 I guess I just don't understand This world we live in As I'm looking at the skyline of Berlin When I look into your face I can hear the dying cries And the sadness of the world Reflected in your deep blue eyes The picture of a city Flattened like a tin Looking at the skyline of Berlin You can talk about the blitz And all those good people gone You can claim you were fighting evil You can ask which side I'm on But all I see is horror A war only d**h would win When I'm looking at the skyline of Berlin
