Battle of the Beanfield |
I thought i heard someone calling me |
I’ve seen the pictures on TV |
And i made up my mind that i’d go and see |
With my own eyes |
It didn’t take too long to hitch a ride |
With a guy going south to start a new life |
Past the place where my friend died |
Two years ago |
Down the 303 at the end of the road |
Flashing lights — exclusion zones |
And it made me think it’s not just the stones |
That they’re guarding |
Hey hey, can’t you see |
There’s nothing here that you could call free |
They’re getting their kicks |
Laughing at you and me |
As the sun rose on the beanfield |
They came like wolf on the fold |
And no they didn’t give a warning |
They took their bloody toll |
I see a pregnant woman |
Lying in blood of her own |
I see her children crying |
As the police tore apart her home |
And no they didn’t need a reason |
It’s what your votes condone |
It seems they were committing treason |
By trying to live on the road |
