New Model Army - Deadeye Lyrics
To the thoughts of the many from the minds of the fewVoice of reason, censored viewThe truth is the News and the News is the truthAs if that'll do as a lame excuse forKilling the slavers, taking the slavesBurying the dead, then robbing the gravesStealing the modesty from heroes braveMaking the tears gush like wavesCh: Deadeye watches, still the killing carries onTo the rhythm of the gunfire and the voices of concernDeadeye claims to be some conscience for us allBut I was never born to be some fly upon the wallWindow dressing and the tinsel wreathStealing the pity and the widow's griefSentimental with a furrowed browPinning the heart on the blooded sleeveCh: Deadeye watches, still the killing carries on . . .And yes I've crouched beneath the glow - dazzled by it allBut this is not the world I know or people I recall.To the thoughts of the many from the minds of the few:Voice of reason, censored viewA little knowledge is a dangerous thingHere is the butterfly, here's the wingCh: Deadeye watches, still the killing carries on . . .
