welcome to our network
you're invited, not your friends
pick your weapons from the table
leave the money in your will
stave the wound and let it flow
seed the soil where nothing grows
you have been given a voice
hey mr diplo-man
turning blind eyes round the weapons ban
hey mr diplo-man
pull the strings and press the palms to sell them what you can
(write your name in the sand)

don't you know you've got blood on your hands

hey mr diplo-man
when you sell it underhand
hey mr diplo-man
hand ferrero rochers round and it's back to wonderland.

Halfway Backwards

it's halfway backwards
you can take this either way
change direction
everybody says
it's halfway backwards
you can take this either way
change direction
even the IMF says
digging up the common ground
with viscount rothermere
keep the columns filled
with hate and fear
it's halfway backwards
though it's not what they would say
MF global meltdown any day
it's halfway backwards
gets repeated every day
paper shuffling out the door to the getaway car
they've taken it all back twice
outrunning the rat race twice
they've taken it all back twice
and they're coming back for more

Erase

you're dishing out advice
like you're throwing the dice
you'll never see the consequences
in somebody else's life
(it's a world away)
erase erase erase...
insist you know what's best
for the poor and the dispossessed
you say “in people we invest”
then they're punished for having less
(another atos test)
erase erase erase...
('cos the figures look bad)
vanity projects will dress up your legacy
while you feather your nest
would you even admit when pressed that there's an agenda here?
and you're looking ahead to the day the sponsors make the payback
(you'll get your seat on the board)
(propping up the bar)
(laying on the floor)
(in the house of lords)
(in the house of lords bar)
(and they say)
erase erase erase...
(when the figures look bad)

The Shoe Fits

i need design
i need direction
(if the shoe fits)
i need a sign
i need a portent
(if the shoe fits)
you snuck a gun into a hospital ward
but the people didn't care
you started laughing in a hospital ward
beneath the striplight glare.
a fissure
when cracks appear
a fissure
then disappear
i need design
i lack direction
(if the shoe fits)
i need a sign
i need importance
(if the shoe fits)
