Don't Shoot the Messenger

A thousand leaks in the ship Good
Let the captain and rats go down with it
Add it to the list of your war crime woes
Everyone knows that everyone knows
Everyone knows

Been out of Oz a long time now
Silver stranger in a forest took us down down down
Cuba Iraq and Afghanistan
Damning finger pointing at the man with the master plan

Think twice
It's not alright

A message in the flicker of the dying guiding light

Says that they're

Gonna shoot the messenger
But don't shoot the messenger

They're gonna shoot the messenger
They're gonna kill
Kill kill kill kill kill
The messenger

International crisis
Instigated by the big mouth of a terroristic typist
What's said can't be unseen
Let the scales fall from your eyes star-spangled shiny crystal clean

The world's a prison a goodly one
So tell me what's this one done what's he done?

From Zurich to London to Ecuador
The truth is always on the run
Always on the run
Always on the run
Always on the run

Now they're
Gonna shoot the messenger
Don't shoot the messenger

They're gonna shoot the messenger
They're gonna kill
Kill kill kill kill kill
The messenger

What have we got to lose
After they pull the floor from underneath
The shit stuck to your new shoes

Never named a name but they
Crucified him all the same

Category A
Victim of The Perpetual State
Of Affairs
Who cares?
Who cares?
Who cares?

Been out of Oz a long time now
Silver stranger in a forest took us down down down
Cuba Iraq and Afghanistan
Damning finger pointing at the man with the master plan

Think twice
It's not alright

A message in the flicker of the dying light

Says that they're

Gonna shoot the messenger
But don't shoot the messenger

They're gonna shoot the messenger
They're gonna kill
Kill kill kill kill kill
Kill kill kill kill kill
Kill kill kill kill kill
