For liberty there is a cost;
It's broken skulls and leather cosh
From the boys in uniform.
Now you know whose side they're on,
With backing and blessing
From earthly gods, not Heaven.
A Stone's Throw Away to it all.
Whatever pleasure those who get
From stripping skin with rhino whip
Are the kind that must be stopped
Before their kind take all we've got.
With loving, with caring,
They take great pride in working.
The Stone's Throw Away to it all.
All.
Wherever honesty persists
You'll hear the snap of broken ribs
Of any one who'll take no more
Of the lying bastards roar.
In Chile, in Poland,
Johannesburg, South Yorkshire.
A Stone's Throw Away; Now we're there.
