Specials, The - War Crimes Lyrics






Bombs to settle arguments, the order of the boot
Can you hear them crying in the rubble of Beirut?

I can still see people dying, now who takes the blame?
the numbers are different, the crime is still the same

From the graves of Belsen where the innocent were burned
To the genocide in Beirut, Israel was nothing learned?

I can still hear people crying, now who takes the blame?
The numbers are different, the crime is still the same

Bombs to settle arguments, the order of the boot
From the graves of Belsen, to the ruins of Beirut

I can still see people dying, now who takes the blame?
The numbers are different, the crime is still the same

    Would be great to see Special aka reunion, excellent tunes- cmon jerry kiss n make up with Terry and gang

  5. k.... ....

    If this was released today, Jerry Dammers would be probably called anti-Semitic. Dangerous times we live in.

  6. Z.... ....

    The Special AKA*

  7. M.... ....

    This music helped shape my Worldview.

  8. P.... B....

    This is the Special AKA, after the Specials era. Brilliant tune

  9. E.... v....

    Love this song. Love Dammers

  10. B.... C....

    This is indeed the Specials, I did not know myself they went by the alias Special AKA, but always thought this was by the Specials throughout high school. To clear up the confusion :)

    B.... C....

    Dammers was the leader of The Specials and owns the naming rights to "The Specials". As this is Dammers' band for me it'll always be The Specials.

  11. C.... D....

    Someone at the record label who set up this YouTube account was not paying attention to the names of these bands. I'm not surprised though.

    C.... D....

    tbf I have this track on a compilation called "The Specials Singles". And it's essentially the same band "Also Known As"

  12. m.... ....

    Amazing composition. RIP Brad

  13. G.... D....

    Love this !

    This song became my private anthem long ago. When I was adolescent it gave me a kick of very strong inner political awarness. In addition to the perfect tune. In the eighties of the 20th century it was impossible to hear that kind of music in my country. The iron curtain was working in Poland. Only one radio presenter once a month gave us the chance to listen to ska, reggae and earlier, punk music which he brought form the UK. The Specials have been  a living legend. And here`s to You, the Specials!

    Tell me how this only has less than 16,000 views, though?

  19. A.... S....

    Originally on release the BBC banned this record, let's not upset Israel. And yet here we are...

  20. S.... ....

    Are you listening, Israel? Probably not.

  21. a.... ....

    Only 70 likes out of 14,340 views?

    a.... ....

    It's not very good

    a.... ....

    @Lynda Byrne
    On what grounds?

    a.... ....

    +Lynda Byrne Your opinion is incorrect.. lulz

  22. O.... M....

    the special a.k.a

  23. o.... ....

    looking at some previous posts on this, it's should be noted this is Special A.K.A, NOT The Specials. Two fairly different sounds and times in music. Those that don't like this because it's not Do the dog or Nite Klub should keep this in mind.

  24. m.... ....

    The numbers are different, the crime is still the same.

  25. S.... H....

    @SirBanuTheFourth I actually prefer the instrumental version of this song, because the music is amazing. Not real sold on the vocals here.

  26. R.... ....

    @SirBanuTheFourth Why?

  27. R.... ....

    Israel paso de victima a victimario... now they're the fucking nazis...

  28. m.... ....

    Que temaso! Lástima que la situación en Palestina, Israel, Líbano.. is still the same

  29. T.... B....

    one of my favorite specials songs, the numbers are different the crime is still the same...
