lyrics

They talk and they torture
and murder with words
and delight in the violence
the whole world observes
while criminal protection
is all that they serve

The deaths they are many
and the words are all worn
with twenty years gone
can another twenty be borne?

The trains they have stopped
and the barns are all empty
except for money for guns
of that there’s still plenty
to provide the newspapers
with another obscenity
The deaths they are many
and the words are all worn
with twenty years gone
can another twenty be borne?

Whose land is this?
Let it be known
that a life is a life
wherever you’re born
and when you bash your Bible
you cast the first stone

The deaths they are many
and the words are all worn
with twenty years gone
can another twenty be borne?

And your words that are evil
and your people who have died
will come back to curse you
wherever you hide

The political facts
are as clear as the sky
on a December day
when the river runs high
the political facts
are just you and I

The deaths they are many
and the words are all worn
with twenty years gone
can another twenty be born?

And these words they are wasted
and the deaths they are torn
from the womb of the land
born only in war

And these words may be wasted
but not if you hear
the sound of the next twenty
coming near
