Set The House Ablaze |
| I was in the pub last night |
| A mutual friend of ours said |
| He’d seen you in the uniform |
| Yeah the leather belt looks manly |
| The black boots butch |
| But oh what a bastard to get off |
| Promises, promises |
| They offer real solutions |
| But hatred has never won for long |
| You was so open minded |
| But by someone blinded |
| And now your sign says closed. |
| Promises, promises |
| They offer real solutions |
| But hatred has never won for long |
| I think we’ve lost our perception — |
| I think we’ve lost sight of the goals we should |
| be working for |
| I think we’ve lost our reason |
| We stumble blindly and that vision must be restored! |
| I wish that there was something |
| I could do about it |
| I wish that there was some way |
| I could try to fight it |
| Scream and shout it — |
| But something you said set the house ablaze! |
| It is called indoctrination |
| And it happens on all levels |
| But it has nothing to do with equality |
| It has nothing to do with democracy |
| And though it professes to |
| It has nothing to do with humanity |
| It is cold, hard and mechanical. |
