Bruce Cockburn - Where The d**h Squad Lives lyrics

Goons in blackface creeping in the road -- Farm family waiting for the night to explode -- Working the land in an age of terror You come to see the moon as the bad news bearer Down where the d**h squad lives They cut down people like they cut down trees -- Chop off its head so it will stay on its knees -- The forest shrinks but the earth remains Slash and burn and it grows again Down where the d**h squad lives. I've got friends trying to batter the system down Fighting the past till the future comes round. It'll never be a perfect world till God declares it that way But that don't mean there's nothing we can do or say Down where the d**h squad lives Like some kind of never-ending Easter pa**ion, From every agony a hero's fashioned. Around every evil there gathers love -- Bombs aren't the only things that fall from above Down where the dead squad lives down where the dead squad lives Sometimes I feel like there's a padlock on my soul. If you opened up my heart you'd find a big black hole But when the feeling comes through, it comes through strong -- If you think there's no difference between right and wrong Just go down where the d**h squad lives This world can be better than it is today You can say I'm a dreamer but that's okay Without the could-be and the might-have-been All you've got left is your fragile skin And that ain't worth much down where the d**h squad lives
