I was in the pub last night
|
A mutual friend of ours said
|
He'd seen you in the uniform
|
Yeah the leather belt looks manly
|
The black boots butch
|
But oh what a bastard to get off
|
|
Promises, promises
|
They offer real solutions
|
But hatred has never won for long
|
|
You was so open minded
|
But by someone blinded
|
And now your sign says closed.
|
|
Promises, promises
|
They offer real solutions
|
But hatred has never won for long
|
|
I think we've lost our perception -
|
I think we've lost sight of the goals we should
|
be working for
|
I think we've lost our reason
|
We stumble blindly and that vision must be restored!
|
|
I wish that there was something
|
I could do about it
|
I wish that there was some way
|
I could try to fight it
|
Scream and shout it -
|
|
But something you said set the house ablaze!
|
|
It is called indoctrination
|
And it happens on all levels
|
But it has nothing to do with equality
|
It has nothing to do with democracy
|
And though it professes to
|
It has nothing to do with humanity
|
It is cold, hard and mechanical.
