Nine Days

Lyrics Oklahoma city Nine Days

 875

Oklahoma city


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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Nine Days is a rock band formed in Long Island, New York, in 1995. The founding members of the group are singer and guitarist John Hampson and drummer Brian Desveaux. Over the years, the lineup has undergone several changes, but Nine Days' distinctive sound has always been centered on catchy melodies, introspective lyrics, and a melancholic atmosphere that blends elements of alternative rock, pop, and folk. Their debut album, "The Madding Crowd", released in 1998, achieved moderate success thanks to the single "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)", which reached the top 20 of the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. Other representative tracks by the group include "When I'm With You" and "Homesick", both from the album "The Madding Crowd". Throughout their career, Nine Days has collaborated with several artists, including music producer Butch Vig (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) and singer Ben Harper. Despite not achieving the fame of other contemporary rock bands, Nine Days have maintained a solid fan base thanks to their authentic music and live performances.
