lyrics

And where did you think we’d go when you torched our miserable huts?
When you bludgeoned us in the guts
When you freed us from our ruts
And what’d you think we’d do when you showed us all your wares?
Tried to catch us unawares
And you showed us that you didn’t care

Despite deceptive appearances we weren’t fooled by your slum clearances
And despite deceptive appearances we weren’t fooled
We weren’t fooled
We weren’t fooled by your fooling

What’d you think we’d say when you took our fun away?
When you told us where to play
And you lengthened our working day
And when did you think we’d know that you’d left us nowhere to go?
Our clocks would always be slow
Our favourite word would be no

Despite deceptive appearances we weren’t fooled by your slum clearances
And despite deceptive appearances we weren’t fooled
We weren’t fooled
We weren’t fooled by your fooling

I was left behind

And despite deceptive appearances we weren’t fooled by your slum clearances
And despite deceptive appearances we weren’t fooled
We weren’t fooled
We weren’t fooled by your fooling

We were off course and planning excuses
I was dragged in by your easy paranoia
Did you enjoy all the endless talking
With me saying nothing?
Maybe I could have warned you
Often on target
We were wearing barbed wire
Bleeding on cue
It was a strange performance
And I fought the battle with no sense of a cause
Clutching at straws
And hiding ‘round corners
