John Thorpe - Father Forgive Them

Father forgive them, I can't bring myself to
Can't you see through the lie, did you turn a blind eye
To the things that they do
I can't believe that you know not what they do
Father forgive them, I can't bring myself to

The bigot he cries an eye for an eye
Let's even the score
Let's do unto them as they do unto us
And then some more
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost
Amen
With God on his side it all happens again
And again and again and again

While history repeats reality sleeps
The runaway dreams
Bought and then sold at fourteen years old
The silence screams
Battered and bruised, betrayed and abused
Drawn like a moth to the flame
They carry the scars from the streets and the bars
Pointing the finger of blame

No helping hand, no promised land
No rainbows end
And fools never learn that the bridges they burn
Never mend
And time never heals just spins like a wheel
Keeps turning around and around
Counting the cost of that paradise lost
Never regained, never found

Dirty tricks, politics
Democracy
Stab in the back, I'm alright jack
Hypocrisy
The Judas kiss the iron fist
The lies and the crocodile tears
We watch and we wait, we love and we hate
Rolling down the years
