an eye for an eye Lyrics

How many more times must we

Watch the same old scene

Ancient enmities and ethnic cleansing

It's all obscene

Occupying other peoples land

Taking what's not yours

Giving to the rich

And bombing the poor

Mahatma Ghandi said it

He was of his time

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

Mahatma Ghandi said it

He was of his time

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

Small countries being invaded

Have just cause for complaint

But if the bully has money, the west says

"Both sides must show restraint"

Turning a blind eye

Ignoring alarms

Wealthy countries funding oppressors and

Giving them arms

The guns have all been reloaded

Along the borderlines

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

The guns have all been reloaded

Along the borderlines

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

Dodgy documentaries

About countries with oil

Whitewash lies with the dirty dollar

And the truth is soiled

Condemning the aggressor

To settle the score

There's no moral high ground when you still

Buy their oil through the back door

All these dark forces

Against the light aligned

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

All these dark forces

Against the light aligned

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

An eye for an eye

And a tooth for a tooth

The first casualty in war

Is always the truth

They kill ten of your people

You kill a hundred of theirs

It just fuels the hatred

Desolation and despair

Revenge like this

A blight on humankind

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

In case you've forgotten this

Let me remind

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

Mahatma Ghandi said it

He was of his time

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind
