Lyrics

Sacrifice
by John Jones (SESAC)

They were living in the dark
Hoping for a change of heart
Standing by the road
Wishing for a field of gold

Looking for a savior
Only getting soldiers and drones
Blowing up their homes
Digging up their bones

They sacrifice it all
So the faces at the mall
Can be filling up the banks
Purchasing more tanks
Changing all the soil

Well you know she's maimed
The woman couldn't run away
She looked just like a man
And now she's got no face and hands
And her children got the same
Their innocence has turned to shame
There's no one left to blame
We made their choice
When the Christians came

They sacrifice it all
So the faces at the mall
Can be filling up the banks
Purchasing more tanks
Changing all the soil
It's got nothing to do with oil
It's just a sacrifice
Nothing to do with oil
Just a sacrifice

Statues tumble from your chains
As freedom rains like a D.U. stain
On their unknown names
Now you better have some fear
'Cause there's no one left who wants you here
In a million years

They sacrifice it all
So the faces at the mall
Can be filling up the banks
Purchasing more tanks
Changing all the soil

They sacrifice it all
So the faces at the mall
Can be filling up the banks
Purchasing more tanks
Changing all the soil
It's got nothing to do with oil

Peking duck and Taiwan screens with
Iceland fish and Argie beef
Scottish tams and Holland cheese
Swedish chairs and Indonesian trees

New Zealand lamb and Kenyan tusks
They travel round on the magic carpet
Irish oats and Russian booze
Sail on a boat with a paddling crew

Dig more holes and drain the dirt
Plant more seed, we've got chicken to feed
