Under His Eyes
Under His Eyes.
We believed everything that they told us,
We believed all of their lies.
The swish of the cane, the throb of the pain,
We believed all of their lies.
Lies, we were the problem,
We forced them to treat us that way.
Lies, boys need discipline,
They needed the fist and the cane.
Lies,lies, lies lies,
Lies we recited and prayed.
Lies,lies, lies, lies,
Remember the sting of that pain.
Our blazers bore the school's proud insignia,
'Ad Astra' stitched in gold on our caps.
"Truth is what these martyrs died for", he ranted
"Our religion, one nation one flag".
Lies, syringes in the dustbins
Asylums for the mentally insane .
Lies, begging in shop doorways
Longhaired queues at the labour exchange.
Lies,lies, lies,lies,
Countless like grains of sand.
Lies, lies, lies, lies,
A desert from grains of sand.
We believed everything that they told us,
We believed all of their lies.
The swish of that cane, the throb of that pain,
"We'd thank them for this one day."
Lies, pennies for Africa,
Aim for those stars in the sky .
Lies, "Suffer the little children..."
I rejoiced on the day he died.
Lies, lies, lies, lies,
Countless like grains of sand.
Lies, lies, lies, lies,
Running through the fingers of my hand.
They told me love conquered every ill,
So I put all my money on you.
They said time could heal any wound,
But now I know that's not true.
Lies, "this is all just history and
Noone remembers those days "
Lies, create an illusion,
Was it really so bad anyway?
Lies,lies, lies,lies,
Running through the fingers of my hand.
Lies, Lies, lies lies,
Love never stood a chance.
Love never had a chance...
We believed everything that they told us,
We believed all of their lies.
The swish of the cane, the throb of the pain,
We believed all of their lies.
Lies, we were the problem,
We forced them to treat us that way.
Lies, boys need discipline,
They needed the fist and the cane.
Lies,lies, lies lies,
Lies we recited and prayed.
Lies,lies, lies, lies,
Remember the sting of that pain.
Our blazers bore the school's proud insignia,
'Ad Astra' stitched in gold on our caps.
"Truth is what these martyrs died for", he ranted
"Our religion, one nation one flag".
Lies, syringes in the dustbins
Asylums for the mentally insane .
Lies, begging in shop doorways
Longhaired queues at the labour exchange.
Lies,lies, lies,lies,
Countless like grains of sand.
Lies, lies, lies, lies,
A desert from grains of sand.
We believed everything that they told us,
We believed all of their lies.
The swish of that cane, the throb of that pain,
"We'd thank them for this one day."
Lies, pennies for Africa,
Aim for those stars in the sky .
Lies, "Suffer the little children..."
I rejoiced on the day he died.
Lies, lies, lies, lies,
Countless like grains of sand.
Lies, lies, lies, lies,
Running through the fingers of my hand.
They told me love conquered every ill,

They said time could heal any wound,
But now I know that's not true.
Lies, "this is all just history and

Lies, create an illusion,
Was it really so bad anyway?
Lies,lies, lies,lies,
Running through the fingers of my hand.
Lies, Lies, lies lies,
Love never stood a chance.
Love never had a chance...
