Monkeyjam - Tourniquet Lyrics

Two million bodies from a phoney war lying in the fields of Cambodia
Two thousand more in Srebanicia die with the UN and the world all standing by
And it shows that's how it goes Now everyone knows

Another lesson in obedience hacking off the limbs of the innocents
Another crazy zealot runs amock gunning down cartoonists in an office block
It goes on and nobody's won; but they're still not done

Ahhh twisting the knife away Ahh ... twisting the tourniquet

But we won't let them put us where they want us
Won't back down when try to confront us
If they can't live up to the standards we've set them
Then we shan't give up till we see that they've met them
Fires keep blazing hope keeps burning Hell keeps raising stomachs churning
Time to stop their wheels turning Putting out the rope twisting the tourniquet

But there's no legacy for them to hand on
No remedy or a leg to stand on
If they're still not done with the trials that they've set us
Then we will not run when they're coming to get us
Truths corrupted lies stay hidden Evil marching in unbidden
But we will never join in with them We're pulling on the rope twisting the tourniquet

Ahhh twisting the knife away Ahh ... twisting the tourniquet
