lyrics

The Politics Of Fear

The heads will be rolling down Oxford St tonight
The slaves will be freed and the doors will be thrown wide open
What about the children you never really knew
Whose lives are already broken before they begin

Can you stand there and tell me you’re free
And that your conscience is clear
With no truth in your eyes all your words only fall on deaf ears
And when you’re buried underneath all your greed
Well I won’t shed a tear

Well you stand and look down on the ones who have held you so high
While they suffer in their shame lie confused in the night wondering why
All the questions they ask only lead them to swallow
More lies that you feed them to keep them continuing on

Now you stand in the light with your arms open wide and you’re smiling
And the cameras record every move that you make and you’re selling
The politics of fear but you’re sick and you won’t shed a tear

Oh the wars you have waged on the ones who have served you so well
You take more than you need and you leave behind nothing at all
And this racket you’re so good at running
It leaves you believing that what you’re achieving is best for us all

Now you stand in the light with your arms open wide and you’re smiling
And the cameras record every move that you make and you’re selling
The politics of fear but you’re sick and you won’t shed a tear
