Inky Fingers

[Verse 1] Oh where are the young men? Men of destiny Only intervention can really set you free How can we put our faith In the United Nations? When there's always someone With ink on their fingers [Chorus] The gospels and swan-songs The sick and the destroyed Drowned out, below, inside Satan's disguise Please God do your work, make it swift and secure Sometimes justice can be sweet and so pure [Verse 2] All the naive politicking Hang your heads in shame Your guilt is paralysing From the colonial age Sanctions and speeches Melt like snow in your hands One man's freedom fighter is another dictatorship [Chorus] The gospels and swan-songs The sick and the destroyed Drowned out, below inside Satan's disguise Please God do your work, make it swift and secure Sometimes justice can be sweet and so pure
