Betty was a blonde blue eyed baby
Who marked her first birthday on easter morning
but her parents had other reasons to celebrate that day
Betty had just learnt to walk by herself
and her mother's got a new job just downtown
cross from the Phillip P. Murrah in an office tower
But they don't like to see the children play
they don't like the government so what have they done
all the toys are covered in blood
a little fire truck is broken
Well I guess that they think it'd be better
to reign down in hell
than to serve up in heaven
well the devil's got a seat next to him
Oh Timmy, he's waiting
Where was god?
and don't you tell us how he works in mysterious ways?
for when all is lost we're tired
of hearing that line
Where was god?
and do you think that she'll find the faith that she needs?
for when all is lost and gone... and gone...
well they don't like to see the children play
they don't like the government so what have they done
all the toys are covered in blood
a little fire truck is broken... is broken...
where was god?
they don't like to see the children play
don't you tell us how he works in mysterious ways
they don't like the government so what have they done
for when all is lost and gone... and gone...
But at least we have our thoughts to remember
the pictures of you, we treasured a few
never forget that god bless the people... of Oklahoma City
never forget that god bless the people... of Oklahoma City
never forget that god bless the children... of Oklahoma City
The lyrics OKLAHOMA CITY of NINE DAYS is also present in the album Monday songs (1996)
Nine Days è un gruppo musicale rock formatosi a Long Island, New York, nel 1995. Il nucleo fondante del gruppo è costituito dal cantante e chitarrista John Hampson e dal batterista Brian Desveaux. Nel corso degli anni, la formazione ha subito diverse variazioni, ma il sound distintivo di Nine Days è rimasto sempre incentrato su melodie orecchiabili, testi introspettivi e un'atmosfera malinconica che fonde elementi di rock alternativo, pop e folk. Il loro album di debutto, "The Madding Crowd", pubblicato nel 1998, ha riscosso un discreto successo grazie al singolo "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)", che ha raggiunto la top 20 delle classifiche Billboard Modern Rock Tracks. Altri brani rappresentativi del gruppo includono "When I'm With You" e "Homesick", tratti dall'album "The Madding Crowd". Nel corso della loro carriera, Nine Days hanno collaborato con diversi artisti, tra cui il produttore musicale Butch Vig (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) e il cantante Ben Harper. Nonostante non abbiano raggiunto la fama di altri gruppi rock contemporanei, Nine Days hanno mantenuto una solida base di fan grazie alla loro musica autentica e al loro impegno live.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
