The Slackers - Sabina lyrics

Sabine came from Texas With a scar across her cheek A razor blade had cut right through it She didn't talk about it, yeah But it was understood That it had been done By a man she once loved What an awful thing to do And man, when she looked at you There was a sadness in her eyes It really made me wonder How someone could be so cruel And cut so deep Into someone so nice Well, Sabina, Sabina, tell me how could he be so cruel Sabina, what becomes of you Well, Sabina, she made up her mind, she said No, never again But where's a girl go to get away from a man like that She didn't have much school No, she's your basic kinda girl From a simple little town With a monster in the woods Well, the kids were grown She sold the home She wasn't coming back She heard about a job in the middle of a war In a kitchen in Iraq Well, before she left, he called to say, he said War's no place for you, you better stay I wouldn't walk away from me If you know what's good for you No, she said, this is goodbye And by the way, I hope you die I can't see anything being worse than Being with you Well, Sabina, Sabina, tell me what else could you do Sabina, what becomes of you Sabina's got an army now That treats her with respect She brings them to a kitchen In the middle of Iraq And the men who work for her are like a little row of ducks That form in lines behind her Well, Sabina, Sabina, tell me what else could you do Sabina, what becomes of you Sabina's In the desert now, looking up at the stars She's not afraid of anything anymore, not even of the bombs
