Songtext Tv suicides The Levellers

Tv suicides

I can't believe we stand aside, watch these people cry
Shedding crocodile tears, saying we can't interfere, not this time,
Standing for their rights became their daily suicide
And getting blown away by the tyrant of the day, are we blind?

You conscience is clear,
There's no threat round here,
Keep on spreading the fear,
And the lies

The television sears my eyes
Their only misson sacrifice
With your permission
They might make it out alive
You should've listened
Yeah you should've listed
Last time

Now you sit alone and watch their families cry,
Trying to understand why they've fallen in a land far away,
I know the time will come, and for your crimes you'll pay,
You never once delivered, my soul begins to shiver at your name
Caught in a crossfire
Never thought they would die there
As light in their eyes start to fade

The television, sears my eyes
Their only misson was sacrifice
With your permission
They might make it out alive
You should've listened
You need to listen
You need to listen
This time
This time
