Short Cut Draw Blood |
Well you can build all the buildings that you want in this world till a man |
can’t see a thing |
Keep on spraying the crops with your suicide juice till the birds no longer sing |
Speed up the production on your automobiles and make the profit that the labor |
brings |
But I’m telling you that short cut gonna draw blood |
Yes I’m telling you that short cut gonna draw blood |
And you’re gonna get your face pushed in the mud |
Well you can build all the airplanes and the bombs that you want but you know |
that it don’t scare me |
Build a brick wall around your entire population then try and tell 'em that |
they’re free |
You can keep on drilling for your precious oil until you’ve even messed up the |
sea |
But I’m telling you that short cut gonna draw blood |
Yes I’m telling you that short cut gonna draw blood |
And you’re gonna get your face pushed in the mud |
Well you been wheeling and dealing like a man with ten arms just to keep your |
out of style plan |
You been putting out pressures squeezing the Earth like a snake with an iron |
hand |
You’d like to kill off every indian in the jungle that’s living and take away |
his land |
But I’m telling you that short cut gonna draw blood |
Yes I’m telling you that short cut gonna draw blood |
And you’re gonna get your face pushed in the mud… mud |
Well you keep on spewing out your dirt and your filth till the air begins to |
choke |
Keep on playing the stupid games with your dagger and your cloak |
But you won’t get me working in your factory because I’ve thrown away the yoke |
And I’m telling you that short cut gonna draw blood |
Yes I’m telling you that short cut gonna draw blood, yes it will |
And you’re gonna get your face pushed in the mud… mud! |
Short cut draw blood! |
Short cut draw blood! |
Short cut draw blood! |
Short cut draw blood! |
