lyrics

Savages in Saville Row suits
briefcase, Italian leather boots
Sewing bloodshed trying to reap peace
pouring poison to cure the disease
you never learned the lessons
never learned the lessons
never learned the lessons that you ought to
Fighting fire with fire
when you shoulda used water

And you've done the dirty work in the devil's hours
And we've to pay the price now the debt is ours

I coulda wrote you a love song and made you smile
And left you looking at the world through covered eyes
I coulda wrote you a love song made you warm inside
And left you looking at the world in it's disguise

It's true, helping a man when he doesn't need help isn't really helping at all
He's gotta learn how to struggle, learn how to fight
How to stand up when he falls
But the fight is fixed
The fight is fixed
The fight is fixed
The game is rigged, the dice are weighted so he never rolls a six

And you've done the dirty work in the devil's hours
And we've to pay the price now the debt is ours

I coulda wrote you a love song and made you smile
And left you looking at the world through covered eyes
I coulda wrote you a love song made you warm inside
And left you looking at the world in it's disguise

Oh god made man and man made the borders
God showed us love and man gave us orders
But greater than the force of a mighty army
Is the power of an idea whose time has come

And you've done the dirty work in the devil's hours
And we've to pay the price now the debt is ours

I coulda wrote you a love song and made you smile
And left you looking at the world through covered eyes
I coulda wrote you a love song made you warm inside
And left you looking at the world in it's disguise

The savage in the Saville Row suit
Has a bag on his back that says "loot"
It's yours and it's mine but he says with a smile
Do as I say, not as I do
