I saw a newspaper picture from the political campaign A woman was kissing a childwho was obviously in pain She spills with compassionas that young child s face in her hands she grips Can you imagine all that greed and avarice coming down on that child s lips Well I hope I don t die too soon I pray the Lord my soul to save Oh I ll be a good boyI m trying so hard to behave Because there s one thing I knowI d like to live long enough to savour That s when they finally put you in the ground I ll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down When England was the whore of the world Margeret was her madam And the future looked as bright and as clear as the black tarmacadam Well I hope that she sleeps well at nightisn t haunted by every tiny detail Cos when she held that lovely face in her hands all she thought of was betrayal And now the cynical ones say that it all ends the same in the long run Try telling that to the desperate father who just squeezed the life from his only son And how it s only voices in your head and dreams you never dreamt Try telling him the subtle difference between justice and contempt Try telling me she isn t angry with this pitiful discontent When they flaunt it in your face as you line up for punishment And then expect you to say "Thank you" straighten uplook proud and pleased Because you ve only got the symptomsyou haven t got the whole disease Just like a schoolboywhose head s like a tin-can filled up with dreams then poured down the drain Try telling that to the boys on both sidesbeing blown to bits or beaten and maimed Who takes all the glory and none of the shame Well I hope you live long nowI pray the Lord your soul to keep I think I ll be going before we fold our arms and start to weep I never thought for a moment that human life could be so cheap Cos when they finally put you in the ground They ll stand there laughing and tramp the dirt down Hottest songs from Elvis Costello : Fans who visit this lyrics also like: Get Out!
