Guilty - Dan Bull

It’s been ages since I made a tune this raw

But it’s time to draw a line in the music hall

I’m fed up of what’s not got in the news reports

Daily slayings, flayings, what do they do this for?

Planes drop bombs on those with no food or water

Ha, even Sun Tzu never knew such war

They changed the rules so this behavior’s duly lawful

The human form’s morphed to become truly awful

There’s apathy from who’s not involved but soon we all will

And when it happens to your family, perhaps that’s when you’ll be thoughtful

A newly orphaned you mourns for the time

You could have given a shit who was led to the slaughter

Mutilated with new forms of brutal torture

Just for living on one side of a stupid border

Who’d have thought the conspiracies of a new world order

Were actually true?

Cos me and you are all just

Guilty, guilty

Not caring quite enough

The blame doesn’t lay just on governments and militants

The population’s got the plague of indifference

And nowadays how can you claim ignorance

When you’ve got the wide world at your fingertips?

A single click can lead the way to a million hits

But we need to change a Twitter status to a physical thing

Quit the wishful thinking, sitting like an invalid

And stop being a clicktivist, get up and light the tindersticks

Don’t just sit through Shoah, Night and Fog and Schindler’s List

Things are happening this minute while you reminisce

Ring your politicians, make them say they’ll follow wishes

And if they break their promise take away their office quick, they’re
