A5
There's a sentry in a uniform
                            E5
To watch the VIPs along the wall
     A5
Strategical discussions taking place
                        E5
Behind the steel plated wall
    D5
The agents issue the statements
                                       Bb5
To the waiting press who circulate the words
A5
Justification propaganda
                                  E5
Western foreign policy across the world

       D5
In the name of the people
              C5
All of this done
       D5
In the name of the people
              C5
All of this done

They read their books and study hard
Cigarettes lit in the claustrophobic gloom
West of the University Road
The world outside is ghost-like in the room
Frustrated and impatient and
Intelligence sharp and twisted like a child
Death is an aphrodiasiac now
The fuses on the table slowly wired

In the name of the people...

A5            Bb5       D5    ( Bb5 )
Hold me tight, hold me fast
A5                   Bb5
Standing here on the wrong side
        D5                   ( Bb5 )
Of this bullet-proof glass
      A5               B5              E5
