《A Gospel》歌词

[00:00:05] A Gospel - The Style Council

[00:00:33] Handed down from fathers to sons

[00:00:35] Was the hatred of weakness and the love of guns

[00:00:38] A talk of peace but not in our time

[00:00:40] To save our souls and stop the crime

[00:00:43] Onwards and upwards but going nowhere

[00:00:45] So how many now truthfully swear

[00:00:48] That they do no evil see no wrong

[00:00:51] The ad-mass agents the writers of song

[00:00:53] The bankers the poets the modern day seers

[00:00:56] Clouding an issue that was never quite clear

[00:01:09] Sent through the ages of boy to man

[00:01:11] The living testament of making a stand

[00:01:14] Killing the wicked then raising the dead

[00:01:17] Eating propaganda and shit spoon fed

[00:01:19] Grasping for wisdom but thick all the same

[00:01:22] So how many innocents now can claim

[00:01:24] That they play with fire and get burnt

[00:01:27] And through the same mistakes never get learnt

[00:01:30] Hoping for a time it will fall to place

[00:01:32] Faith shall show as our saving grace

[00:01:56] Handed down from God with love

[00:01:58] Was the whole wide world and some above

[00:02:00] But not content to share the land

[00:02:03] Greed was shown the winning hand

[00:02:06] And those whose greed was the strongest of all

[00:02:08] Took upon themselves to lead the call

[00:02:11] That some must work while other rest

[00:02:14] Without the question of what is best

[00:02:16] The leaders the losers and the kings

[00:02:19] Pass the rifle butt that tyranny brings

[00:02:38] Passed on over to the chosen few

[00:03:19] Was the promise of freedom with a breadline queue

[00:03:24] Ghetto's gateaux and eating it too

[00:03:27] Forcing it all down with a cola brew

[00:03:29] The first amendment and the hunt for reds

[00:03:32] A conscious contradiction with something said

[00:03:34] That they see no evil with eyes shut tight

[00:03:37] A cocaine culture that offers no fight

[00:03:40] Dragged from birth drugged to death

[00:03:42] The common excuse is just being yourself

[00:04:06] Hand us down before it's too late

[00:04:08] The strength and wisdom to change our state

[00:04:11] Governed by evil and all it will bring

[00:04:13] I can't wait for the day they do the lamppost swing

[00:04:16] And no mercy should they be shown

[00:04:18] For you cannot reason with the devil's own

[00:04:21] They say they hear no evil hands clasped tight

[00:04:23] To shut out the victims' screams of ol' Uncle Sam fights

[00:04:26] He sweats and he strains as his boney frame comes

[00:04:29] Into the womb of an innocent one

[00:04:31] Into the womb of an innocent one

[00:04:34] Into the womb of an innocent one
