Lynching Party Politics
Someone came up and asked me something just the other day
What they asked took me aback - I just didn't know what to say
They said, "If you could get away with it, who would you like to kill?"
And I can honestly say that the whole idea just made me ill
Do you think it can possibly help in any situation
To think about your enemies and visualise their extermination?
Don't be obsessed with vengeance, and settling old scores
Such attitudes are responsible for oppression, hate and wars
A lynch-mob form of "justice" - a tooth for a tooth
In thousands of years it's got us nowhere - look around and see the proof
Yeah, I know the World's a mess
But I believe that the solution will come through understanding
And not through violent retribution
What they asked took me aback - I just didn't know what to say
They said, "If you could get away with it, who would you like to kill?"
And I can honestly say that the whole idea just made me ill
Do you think it can possibly help in any situation
To think about your enemies and visualise their extermination?
Don't be obsessed with vengeance, and settling old scores
Such attitudes are responsible for oppression, hate and wars
A lynch-mob form of "justice" - a tooth for a tooth
In thousands of years it's got us nowhere - look around and see the proof
Yeah, I know the World's a mess
But I believe that the solution will come through understanding
And not through violent retribution
