Inside My Country

From Hodges Shan't Be Shot

Full-length MP3

Don't want my country to hurt nobody
Am I making myself clear
Fold down all third-world umbrellas under cloudy skies pregnant with sanctions and fear

Well it may be old
But I swear it's still true
Easier than laying blame
And there's no burden of proof
Take half of the money
From all these guns
And head for the border
With airplanes full of shots and water
Blankets and sticky buns

First-strike policy
Come on now honestly
What are you trying to do
Your heads are so far down the scope you don't know who's drawing a bead on you

Ah, look at all the hopeless people
Living for the day
When the U.N. and the U.S.' leaders
Step out of the way

Well them kids they just keep asking
The same questions every day
Why is there no power
And why's our city wrecked this way
The yays should be made to climb down to hell rung by rung
For engineering no end to sanctions,
and no end to the war they only began in '91

I Love all the people inside my country
But I love all of them, too
You wouldn't want some Muhammed Rumsfeld saying "it's them or us" about us, now would you?
Now would you
