Lyrics
You're Not An Army
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We can drag you out of bed in the middle of the night
Drive tanks along your street looking for a flight
We can put you in a cell an dash away the key
Make you stand against the wall torture chamber stylee
The reason is simple, it`s obvious to see
We can shoot at you but you can`t kill we
Don`t you see, don`t you see, your not an army
The reason is simple, it`s obvious to see
Right is on your side but the media`s with we
Don`t you see, don`t you see, your not an army
The thing you must remember since these troubles first began
Were supported by a tax paying population
And if the rest of this world is against we
It`s a fact that the people of this country won`t see
They can give you a trial by military
But you won`t be sentenced politically
You`ll be beat by other prisoners for political views
