Lyrics

Savages in Saville Row suits Briefcase, Italian leather boots Sewing bloodshed trying to reap peace Pouring poison to cure the disease You never learned the lessons Never learned the lessons Never learned the lessons that you ought to Fighting fire with fire When you shoulda used water And you've done the dirty work in the devil's hours And we've to pay the price now the debt is ours I coulda wrote you a love song and made you smile And left you looking at the world through covered eyes I coulda wrote you a love song made you warm inside And left you looking at the world in it's disguise It's true Helping a man when he doesn't need help isn't really helping at all He's gotta learn how to struggle Learn how to fight How to stand up when he falls But the fight is fixed The fight is fixed The fight is fixed The game is rigged, the dice are weighted so he never rolls a six Never rolls a six And you've done the dirty work in the devil's hours And we've to pay the price now the debt is ours I coulda wrote you a love song and made you smile And left you looking at the world through covered eyes I coulda wrote you a love song made you warm inside And left you looking at the world in it's disguise Oh god made man and man made the borders God showed us love and man gave us orders But greater than the force of a mighty army Is the power of an idea whose time has come And you've done the dirty work in the devil's hours And we've to pay the price now the debt is ours I coulda wrote you a love song and made you smile And left you looking at the world through covered eyes I coulda wrote you a love song made you warm inside And left you looking at the world in it's disguise The savage in the Saville Row suit Has a bag on his back that says "loot" It's yours and it's mine but he says with a smile Do as I say, not as I do Do as I say, not as I do Do as I say, not as I do Do as I say, not as I do Do as I say, not as I do
