The war was lost
The treaty signed
I was not caught
I crossed the line
I was not caught
Though many tried
I live among you
Well disguised
I had to leave
My life behind
I dug some graves
You’ll never find
The story’s told
With facts and lies
I had a name
But never mind
Never mind
Never mind
The war was lost
The treaty signed
There’s truth that lives
And truth that dies
I don’t know which
So never mind
Your victory
Was so complete
That some among you
Thought to keep
A record of
Our little lives
The clothes we wore
Our spoons our knives
The games of luck
Our soldiers played
The stones we cut
The songs we made
Our law of peace
Which understands
A husband leads
A wife commands
And all of this
Expressions of
The Sweet Indifference
Some call Love
The High Indifference
Some call Fate
But we had Names
More intimate
Names so deep
and Names so true
They’re blood to me
They’re dust to you
There is no need
That this survive
There’s truth that lives
And truth that dies
Never mind
Never mind
I live the life
I left behind
There’s truth that lives…
I could not kill
The way you kill
I could not hate
I tried I failed
You turned me in
At least you tried
You side with them
Whom you despise
This was your heart
This swarm of flies
This was once your mouth
This bowl of lies
You serve them well
I’m not surprised
You’re of their kin
You’re of their kind
Never mind
Never mind
The story’s told
With facts and lies
You own the world
So never mind
Never mind
Never mind
I live the life
I left behind
I live it full
I live it wide
Through layers of time
You can’t divide
My woman’s here
My children too
Their graves are safe
From ghosts like you
In places deep
With roots entwined
I live the life
I left behind
Prevod pesme
Nije važno
Rat je izgubljen
Sporazum potpisan
Nisam uhvaćen
Prešao sam granicu
Nisu me uhvatili
Iako su mnogi probali
Ja živim među vama
Dobro prerušen
Morao sam da ostavim
Svoj život iza sebe
Iskopao sam neke grobove
Koje nikad naći nećete
Priča se raspreda
Sa činjenicama i lažima
Mogao bih nekog odati
Ali nema veze
Nije važno
Nije važno
Rat je izgubljen
Sporazum potpisan
Neke istine žive
Neke umiru
Ja ne znam koje
Zato nema veze
Vaša pobeda
Bila je tako kompletna
Da su neki od vas
Došli na ideju da vode
Evidenciju
naših beznačajnih života
Odeće koju smo nosili
Naših kašika, naših noževa
Igara na sreću
Koje naši vojnici su igrali
Kamenja koje smo klesali
Pesama koje smo pevali
Našeg zakona o miru
Koji kapira
Da muž vodi
supruga naređuje
I sve te
Izraze
Slatke ravnodušnosti
Koju neki nazivaju Ljubavlju
Neke više ravnodušnosti
Koju neki nazivaju Sudbinom
Ali mi smo imali imena
Intimnija
Imena tako dubokoumna
i imena tako prava da
Ona su za mene krv
Za vas su prašina
Nema nikakve potrebe
Da ovo opstane
Neke istine žive
Neke umiru
Nije važno
Nije važno
Ja živim život
Koji sam iza sebe ostavio
Istina živi…
Ja ne bih mogao ubiti
Kao što ubijaš ti
Ja ne bih mogao mrzeti
Probao sam, nisam uspeo
Ti si me prijavila
Bar si probala
Na njihovu stranu staješ
A njih prezireš
Ovo je bilo tvoje srce
Ovaj roj mušica
Ovo su nekad bila tvoja usta
Ova laži gomila
Ti im odgovaraš
Nisam iznenađen
Ti si njihova
Ti si ista takva
Nije važno
Nije važno
Priča je ispričana
Sa činjenicama i lažima
Ceo svet je tvoj
Zato, zaboravi
Nije važno
Nije važno
Ja živim život
Koji sam iza sebe ostavio
Živim ga punim plućima
Živim ga naširoko
Kroz slojeve vremena
Koje rastaviti ne možeš
Moja žena je ovde
Moja deca isto
Njihovi grobovi su bezbedni
Od duhova kao što si ti
Na mestima u dubini
Gde korenje se prepliće
Ja živim život
Koji sam ostavio iza sebe
