Sudden Death |
The conference is over and they’re calling out the guard |
The Minister of Justice looks so tired |
The gunman on the roof picks his target carefully |
The last thing they expected to see was sudden death |
The army was on full alert, watching everything |
Trying hard not to look you in the eye |
If what you saw wasn’t what you knew and ignorance was bliss |
It could happen anywhere at all |
UPI and Reuters were the first ones to the phone |
Full of information on the dead |
Frontpage rumours… man, they were just, just doing their job |
Nothing much they could do about sudden death |
Somebody was talking much too loud in the village bar |
They pulled him out and put him down |
Then stood around and bragged about the way he’d died |
Didn’t know a thing about sudden death |
Then the ships were leaving port full of tourists in disguise |
They said they’d seen quite enough |
Didn’t matter who was dead or who was alive or who’d done what |
They just wanted to get away from sudden death |
