Big Country - Trouble The Waters lyrics

They took a southern working man and chained him to a car Claimed before the judge we didn't pull him very far Anyway, he looked at us with murder in his glance We want to make a bargain, and the plea is self defense Look mother trouble the waters We've lost our sons and daughters Blame religion, blame the family It had to be somebody Painless violence, daddy's silence Feed the glamour of d** and guns Somebody tell me, you gotta Who threw the stone to trouble the waters They took a student farmer and they chained him to a post And sent their finest greetings with him to the holy ghost This is a place where men are men and we don't need his kind We know what he planned for us, we could read his filthy mind Look mother trouble the waters We've lost our sons and daughters Blame religion, blame the family It had to be somebody Painless violence, daddy's silence Feed the glamour of d** and guns Somebody tell me, you gotta Who threw the stone to trouble the waters They took a box of rifles and they hauled them off to school Set up like a sniper in that movie that was cool Someone tripped the fire alarm and panic set about They looked upon their enemy and calmly took him out Look mother trouble the waters We've lost our sons and daughters Blame religion, blame the family It had to be somebody Painless violence, daddy's silence Feed the glamour of d** and guns Somebody tell me, you gotta Who threw the stone to trouble the waters Look mother trouble the waters We've lost our sons and daughters Blame religion, blame the family It had to be somebody Painless violence, daddy's silence Feed the glamour of d** and guns Somebody tell me, you gotta Who threw the stone to trouble the waters Who threw the stone that trouble the waters Who threw that stone Who threw the stone to trouble the waters Trouble the waters
