Don't want to live in a prison cell |
|
don't want to live in a smoking room, |
|
independence just won't come to you |
|
in the brief of a diplomat. |
|
Say your prayers for the future |
|
say your prayers for the past, |
|
it might be round the corner |
|
it might be all we have. |
|
Say your Prayers. |
|
Don't want to live with a compromise |
|
don't want to live with hypocrisy, |
|
bureaucracy doesn't have to win |
|
breaks the cage of the beast within. |
|
Say your prayers in the boardroom |
|
say your prayers on the stairs, |
|
it might be catastrophic |
|
it might be too damn bad. |
|
Say your prayers. |
|
I got the cure for compassion fatigue |
|
spend a week with the Timorese, |
|
running scared from the military |
|
you can share you can share your disease. |
|
Now we don't live with an absent master |
|
we don't live on an island divided, |
|
don't want my kids to grow up in shame |
|
in a country with a different name |
|
had to throw them out, had to break the chains. |
|
I got the cure for compassion fatigue |
|
spend a week with the Timorese, |
|
running scared from the military |
|
I come to you with a plaintive plea. |
