=========================



goons in blackface creeping in the road

farm family waiting for the night to explode

working the land in an age of terror

you come to see the moon as a bad news bearer

down where the death squad lives



they cut down people like they cut down trees

chop of its head so it will stay on its knees

the forest shrinks but the earth remains

slash and burn and it grows again

down where the death squad lives



I've got friends trying to batter the system down

fighting the past till the future comes round

it'll never be a perfect world till God declares it that way

but that don't mean there's nothing we can do or say

down where the death squad lives



like some kind of never-ending easter passion

from every agony a hero's fashioned

around every evil there gathers love

bombs aren't the only things that fall from above

down where the death squad lives

down where the death squad lives



sometimes I feel like there's a padlock on my soul

if you opened up my heart you'd find a big black hole

but when the feeling comes through it comes through strong

if you think there's no difference between right and wrong

just go down where the death squad lives



the world can be better than it is today

you can say I'm a dreamer but that's okay

without the could-be and the might-have-been

all you've got left is your fragile skin

and that ain't worth much down where the death squad lives
