[instrumental]



you tell me how can it work in this all white law

what a short sharp lesson,

what a third world war



i sometimes wonder if i'll ever get the chance

just to sit with my children in a holiday jam

our lives seem petty in your gold grey hands

would you give a second thought

would you ever give a damn, i doubt it

stand down Margaret???Awhoa

everybody shout it

stand down Margaret!



[instrumental]



work, white law

shell shock

world war

war, war, war, war, war

war, war, war, war, war

war, war, war, war, war

war, war, war, war, war

war, war, war, war, war
