"Nobody's" lyrics

"Nobody's"

Bathing in the blue light nightmare of the TV war
It's too late, I'm tired, but I can't see sleeping
Simple central fact I can't ignore
Nobody's hands are clean

Watch close, history shows
The one familiar hell we know
Birthright violence, cemetery silence
Makes me sick and sorry for us all

Poison sky and poison sea
Too bad we can't say we don't know better
Both hands are tied by need and greed
Nobody's hands are clean

Watch close, history shows
The one familiar hell we know
Birthright violence, cemetery silence
Endless marching armies
Ancient rages, sacred pages
Makes me sick and sorry for us all

Nobody's hands are clean
It's true and it's obscene

The whole god damned human race and me
Born through love and blood, alone and naked
Condemned forever to be free
Nobody's hands are clean

Watch close
History shows
The one familiar hell we know
Birthright violence, cemetery silence
Endless marching armies
Ancient rages, sacred pages
Makes me sick and sorry for us all...
