A Stones Throw Away (Edinburgh Playhouse Live Version)
For liberty there is a cost - its broken skulls and leather cosh,
From the boys in uniform - now you know whose side their on -
With backing - with blessing,
From earthly gods not heaven,
A stones throw away from it all.
Whatever pleasures those who get - from stripping skin with rhino whip,
Are the kind that must be stopped - before their kind take all weve got -
With loving - with caring,
They take great pride in working,
The stones throw away from it all.
Whenever honesty persists - youll hear the snap of broken ribs,
Of anyone wholl take no more - of the lying bastards roar -
In chile - in poland,
Johannesburg - south yorkshire,
A stones throw away: now were there.
From the boys in uniform - now you know whose side their on -
With backing - with blessing,
From earthly gods not heaven,
A stones throw away from it all.
Whatever pleasures those who get - from stripping skin with rhino whip,
Are the kind that must be stopped - before their kind take all weve got -
With loving - with caring,
They take great pride in working,
The stones throw away from it all.
Whenever honesty persists - youll hear the snap of broken ribs,
Of anyone wholl take no more - of the lying bastards roar -
In chile - in poland,
Johannesburg - south yorkshire,
A stones throw away: now were there.
