lyrics

Living with homeless women and children
91 Gulf War Eve
The government planned homelessness and death
In Iraq for the sake of freedom
Disarmed a weapon of mass destruction
Poured a cross of human blood
We asked the soldiers to pray with us
When they turned up with their guns

CHORUS 1
Let the exorcism begin
Corporation, Church and State
The Institution is possessed
Let Evil reveal its name

Keep your hands visible and do not move
We said ‘Love your enemy’
Say one more word and we’ll blow off your head
Got us on the ground spread-eagled
Kicked me in the guts, poked me with his gun
Said where are your bombs concealed?
We’ve got no bombs, you’re the one with bombs
That’s why we’re here

CHORUS

Soldiers come, kidnap your brother
Humiliate your parents
Rape your sister destroy your home
Who is buying terror?
Retails on your local main drag
Plant a car bomb in the street
Wholesales at the big end of town
Drop napalm from thousands of feet
