Guns, death and noise
|
Sand, oil and blood
|
Frontiers drawn on paper
|
No consideration made for
|
The poor creature who is living
|
By the grace of God just giving
|
He's live on network news
|
Live on network news
|
|
Flags, princes, kings
|
Patriotic tools
|
As freedom lies in twisted heaps
|
Whose final breath his soul to keep
|
Whose greatest foe, the endless sleep
|
Whose dying wish to reach next week
|
A bloody star on the network news
|
A bloody star on the network news
|
|
Tanks, boats and planes
|
Fire, pain and lies
|
Environmental terrorists
|
Tease propaganda's paper fist
|
Whose trade is all the truth that fits
|
Who often lies but never sits
|
But on the fence it's the network news
|
Yes, on the fence it's network news
|
|
The lion and the serpent parade out in the sun
|
All order, flex and gesture
|
All hail - the techno infidel has come
|
With satellite bravado and infra-red texture
|
|
Beyond these days in time to come
|
Whose fate is it to measure
|
Upon these sands such damage done
|
To spoil God's finest treasure
|
|
Beyond these days [etc repeated]
|
|
Guns, death and noise
|
Sand, oil and blood
|
Guns, death and noise
|
Sand, oil and blood
