1 Living in the Rose
(Sullivan/Heaton/Nelson
Today, as you listen to this song, another 394,000 childre
were born into this world....they break like waves o
hunger and desire upon these eroded shores....carryin
the curses of history and a history yet unwritten....the oi
burns in thick black columns, the buzz saws echo throug
the forest floor....they shout give us our fair share
give us justice...
....here comes the wa
On a grey morning to the south of here two young men i
makeshift uniforms peer into the misty light....an
figures dart behind the trees as a snap of rifle round
echoes out across the fields....well they hardly know thei
sacred mother tongue....but they know their duty to defen
the flag hanging limp and bloody above the village church...
while a thousand miles away in a warehouse complex down b
the river....young money men play paintball games...
....here comes the wa
Put out the lights on the age of reason...
Blow out the candle and tell us another of those great stories...
the ones about serial killers....let dreams flow into savag
times....do you hear the sirens scream across the city
we've had three hot nights in succession....the riot season i
here again....dear lord lead us back into the valley of th
shadow of death...
....here comes the wa
Did you think we were born in peaceful times?..
Faster, faster....like a whirling dervish spinning round...
faster, faster....till the centre cannot hold....faster, faster...
You screamed give us liberty or give us deat
Now you've got both, what do you want next?...
....here comes the wa
Put out the lights on the age of reason
