Rita Atria & Paolo Borsellino

lovely Rita, Italian made
killed by fear of the Mafia trade
with Paolo gone
to the bastards bomb
love and life and hope did fade

your father dead to the old old story
and brother gunned in blood so gory
you told your truth
then hid your youth
and the blaze of your passion without glory

and even your mother betrayed you
after fear and loneliness slayed you
if your life was a shame
in death you have fame
and honour and courage portrayed you

if the Mafia are to blame for it all
yet millions stood and watched her fall
they cowered and hid
being exposed by a kid
and were pathetic while Rita stood tall

Judge Paolo Borsellino I remember you too
with Rita Atria you are two of the few
you stood up and fought
and the lesson I'm taught
is that really too few of us do

and Hollywood still churns out show after show
of the glorious Mafioso tough and gung-ho
actors paid millions
to blow up cardboard dominions
and that's all most of us care of or know
