A Gospel - The Style Council[00:00:05]

Handed down from fathers to sons[00:00:33]

Was the hatred of weakness and the love of guns[00:00:35]

A talk of peace but not in our time[00:00:38]

To save our souls and stop the crime[00:00:40]

Onwards and upwards but going nowhere[00:00:43]

So how many now truthfully swear[00:00:45]

That they do no evil see no wrong[00:00:48]

The ad-mass agents the writers of song[00:00:51]

The bankers the poets the modern day seers[00:00:53]

Clouding an issue that was never quite clear[00:00:56]

Sent through the ages of boy to man[00:01:09]

The living testament of making a stand[00:01:11]

Killing the wicked then raising the dead[00:01:14]

Eating propaganda and shit spoon fed[00:01:17]

Grasping for wisdom but thick all the same[00:01:19]

So how many innocents now can claim[00:01:22]

That they play with fire and get burnt[00:01:24]

And through the same mistakes never get learnt[00:01:27]

Hoping for a time it will fall to place[00:01:30]

Faith shall show as our saving grace[00:01:32]

Handed down from God with love[00:01:56]

Was the whole wide world and some above[00:01:58]

But not content to share the land[00:02:00]

Greed was shown the winning hand[00:02:03]

And those whose greed was the strongest of all[00:02:06]

Took upon themselves to lead the call[00:02:08]

That some must work while other rest[00:02:11]

Without the question of what is best[00:02:14]

The leaders the losers and the kings[00:02:16]

Pass the rifle butt that tyranny brings[00:02:19]

Passed on over to the chosen few[00:02:38]

Was the promise of freedom with a breadline queue[00:03:19]

Ghetto's gateaux and eating it too[00:03:24]

Forcing it all down with a cola brew[00:03:27]

The first amendment and the hunt for reds[00:03:29]

A conscious contradiction with something said[00:03:32]

That they see no evil with eyes shut tight[00:03:34]

A cocaine culture that offers no fight[00:03:37]

Dragged from birth drugged to death[00:03:40]

The common excuse is just being yourself[00:03:42]

Hand us down before it's too late[00:04:06]

The strength and wisdom to change our state[00:04:08]

Governed by evil and all it will bring[00:04:11]

I can't wait for the day they do the lamppost swing[00:04:13]

And no mercy should they be shown[00:04:16]

For you cannot reason with the devil's own[00:04:18]

They say they hear no evil hands clasped tight[00:04:21]

To shut out the victims' screams of ol' Uncle Sam fights[00:04:23]

He sweats and he strains as his boney frame comes[00:04:26]

Into the womb of an innocent one[00:04:29]

Into the womb of an innocent one[00:04:31]

Into the womb of an innocent one[00:04:34]
