Asking Too Much

Angry that I may die by another’s hand

Feel sick that many may die ’cos of one command

They wanna fuck us all up, god-given power as a cover-

up

God help me

No reply, it’s all a lie (their power comes from us)

Chorus: GOD HELP ME. JESUS SAVE ME. PRIEST FOR-

GIVE ME. LOVER SEE ME. ‘ENEMY’ LOVE ME.

MOTHER FEED ME. FATHER SHOW ME.

TEACHER LEARN ME. GOVERNMENT LEAVE

ME... OR AM I ASKING TOO MUCH?

If that day will come, then I’m told I’ll be alright

Cos I’ve been taught to beg for forgiveness all my life

Well, it better fucking work ’cos I hate crawling like

a jerk

Jesus save me

Shit, I’ve been conned

A respected place in the set up of the state

Is a church with a man moralising others

Pray or burn sisters and brothers, last rites as I die

Priest forgive me

Before you burn too

CHORUS.................

In a world so sick with hate and war

There’s always someone I turn to for love and

understanding

Saw only each other, now die together

Lover see me

We blinded each other (see me for myself)

CHORUS..........

As one last fling, all nations joined and began to sing

Against those who’d sooner blow our dreams of peace

away

Far too late to save anything, time to decay

‘Enemy’ love me

But we should have loved sooner (it’s not too late)

Don’t do this, don’t do that, do this, do that,

Eat meat and be strong like dad, cute and kept in a

cage

You can get used to oppression at a very early age

Mother feed me

Too late to grow my own (smother love)

CHORUS..........

In history at school, always told of wars of past

Got told to stay behind for falling asleep in class

Pissed off with a blood stained system which just

cannot last

Teacher learn me

Something useful for a change

Greedy power perverted shits sitting high and mighty

Dreaming of a place in history while slowly killing

‘blighty’

You always dwell on the past and our future’s just a

blast

Government leave me

’Cos with you there’s no future to be had

CHORUS..................
