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

       Dm
In the name of the people
              C
All of this done
       Dm
In the name of the people
              C
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...

Am            Bb       Dm    ( Bb )
Hold me tight, hold me fast
Am                   Bb
Standing here on the wrong side
        Dm                   ( Bb )
Of this bullet-proof glass
      Am               B              Em
