The Hate Eighties - Damocles Lyrics

The handsome reporter says
Don't make a sound
As they cover your mouth with the cold black tape
They promised a garden made of oil and steel
Building an empire of greed, war and rape

Yellow-bellied motherf*ckers burn the hospitals down
Yellow-bellied motherf*ckers burn the colleges down
Yellow-bellied motherf*ckers burn the hospitals down
Yellow-bellied motherf*ckers burn the colleges down

Hallelujah! Praise the lord
I woke up on fire
I bow to my TV set
My god the liar
I clap my hands and walk the line
Cover myself and fold, fold, fold

The burning black headlines read 'don't be afraid
Report your neighbours and reap the rewards'
A nation imprisoned
Freedom beneath the sword
Freedom beneath the sword
Freedom beneath the sword
