This is one of my favorites:

"Sons of"
by Jacques Brel. English lyrics by Eric Blau and Mort Shuman.

Sons of the thief, sons of the saint
Who is the child with no complaint?
Sons of the great or sons unknown
All were children like your own
The same sweet smiles, the same sad tears
The cries at night, the nightmare fears
Sons of the great or sons unknown
All were children like your own...

So long ago: long, long, ago...

But sons of tycoons or sons of the farms
All of the children ran from your arms
Through fields of gold, through fields of ruin
All of the children vanished too soon
In tow'ring waves, in walls of flesh
Among dying birds trembling with death
Sons of tycoons or sons of the farms
All of the children ran from your arms...

So long ago: long, long, ago...

But sons of your sons or sons passing by
Children we lost in lullabies
Sons of true love or sons of regret
All of the sons you cannot forget
Some built the roads, some wrote the poems
Some went to war, some never came home
Sons of your sons or sons passing by
Children we lost in lullabies...

So long ago: long, long, ago

But, sons of the thief, sons of the saint
Who is the child with no complaint?
Sons of the great or sons unknown
All were children like your own
The same sweet smiles, the same sad tears
The cries at night, the nightmare fears
Sons of the great or sons unknown
All were children like your own...
Like your own, like your own

tweezers and Krazy Glue,
(a note about the tweezers and the glue: the ironic thing that happened to me this morning was that my cats knocked my computer mouse on the floor and broke off the little thingamabobs that hold the little ball in place. It broke the tabs off. I could only find one tab. After an hour or more of crawling around on the floor looking for the other tab, I finally decided to take the tweezers and get the little tab that was stuck inside the mouse out and glue it back on to see if I could use the mouse at all. I glued what I had back on it. My mouse has been neutered by my cats now, I guess...)
