"The More I See (The Less I Believe)" lyrics
"The More I See (The Less I Believe)"
The more that I see, the less I believe
The barbed wire fences have replaced all the trees
The house of God are full of sinners every week
Praying for forgiveness for those they leave to bleed
And they keep telling me, it's not my concern
But when petrol bombs fly, when cars overturn
When your see children cry because the cities are burning
Who's gonna show concern
Belfast's only half an hour away
Close your eyes but it won't go away
Belfast's only half an hour away
Belfast's only half an hour away
But the more that I see, the less I believe
Like countries split in two through religion, tradition, and greed
The devil's passed his hand those who have solutions
And those like me too ignorant to find my own conclusions
Is that what're telling me, it's not my concern
But when I see children crying 'cause that's all they can do
They are crying for help and they're looking at you
What are you supposed to do?
Belfast's only half an hour away
Close your eyes but it won't go away
Belfast's only half an hour away
Belfast's only half an hour away
The governing powers are confused, the armies becoming bemused
Another bomb becomes defused and terrorists aren't amused
Paisley is getting his shirt off, Sein Fien are going insane
They strike to divide the countryside, but the borderline remains
Another attack leaves a window in black, grieving for bereaved
Another kid with a brick gets shot in the back and gets left on the pavement to bleed
And they keep telling me, it's not my concern
It's not my concern, it's not my concern
Belfast's only half an hour away
Close your eyes but it won't go away
Belfast's only half an hour away
Belfast's only half an hour away
Does anybody know any jokes?
Does anybody know any jokes?
Does anybody know any jokes?

The B-52's - "Planet Claire" Ahhhahhahhahh
She came from Planet Claire
I knew she came from there
She drove a Plymouth Satellite
Faster than the speed of light
Planet Claire has pink air
All the trees are red
No one ever dies...
The Stranglers - "Strange Little Girl" One day you see a strange little girl look at you
One day you see a strange little girl feeling blue
She'd run to the town one day
Leaving home and the country fair
Just beware
When you're there...
The Specials - "Gangsters" Bernie Rhodes knows Don't Argue
Why must you record my phone calls?
Are you planning a bootleg LP?
Said you've been threatened by gangsters
Now it's you, that's threatening me
Can't fight...
Public Image Ltd. - "Flowers Of Romance" Now in the summer
I could be happy or in distress
Depending on the company
On the veranda
Talk of the future or reminisce
Behind the dialogue
We're in a mess
Whatever I intended
I sent you flowers...
