Intro: (x2) verse 1 The part that is envious Cold hearted and devious Greedy, mischievous Global, colonial Bloodthirsty, blind Mindless and cheap Focused on borders And slaughter and sheep verse 2 Burning of books Bulldozing of homes Given to targeted killing With drones Lethal injections Arrest without trial verse 3 Monocular vision Gangrene and slime Unction, sarcasm Common assault Self-satisfied heroic killers Lifted on high verse 4 Piracy adverts, acid attacks On women by bullies and perverts and hacks The rigging of ballots and the buying of power Verse 5 Lies from the pulpit Rape in the shower Mute, indifferent Feeling no shame Portly, important Leering, deranged Verse 6 Sat in the corner watching TV Deaf to the cries of children in pain Dead to the world Just watching the game Verse 7 Watching endless repeats - Out of sight, out of mind Silence, indifference: The ultimate crime But when I met you, that part of me died Instrumental Bring me a bowl To bathe her feet in Bring me my final cigarette Outro It would be better by far to die in her arms Than to linger In a lifetime of regret
