but it wears a uniform
 it speaks with foreign guns
 in the background you can almost hear
 the sound of intervention

 and i don't know when liberty fell
 but we rang every mission bell
 we rang them loud and clearly
 for a world that wouldn't listen

 i don't want to die
 i'm as innocent as anybody
 i don't even know how to spell
 revolutionary
 jesus in the sky
 the bullets in the guns
 you don't even know what we
 mean by repression

 blood is the colour of the sunset
 you walked into the darkness
 i did not hear your last breath
 there will not be an inquest
 this is not human interest

 we danced the dirt with
 surrender for our drumbeat
 we danced for the balance sheet
 died for the kind of lasting peace
 that pleases the world policeman

 and fatherland raped motherhood
 and told her it was for the global good
 and now we ring the mission bell
 to warn their children

 and i don't want to die
 i'm as innocent as anybody
 i don't even know how to spell
 revolutionary
 jesus in the sky
 the bullets in the guns
 you don't even know what we
 mean by repression

 blood is the colour of the sunset
 you walked into the darkness
 i did not hear your last breath
 there will not be an inquest
 this is not human interest
