She Is Beyond Good And Evil  My little girl was born on a ray of sound My little girl was born on a ray of sound Sleeps on water walks on ice Sleeps on water walks on ice got no father, immortal wife I'd exchange my soul for her there's no antidote for her I'd exchange my soul for her there's no antidote for her my little girl was born on a ray of sound my little girl was born on a ray of sound Like a dancing flame on a bed of nails She is one thing that you cannot buy with zero reasons for living with zero reasons for living my little girl was born on a ray of sound Our only defence is together as an army I'll hold you like a gun Western values mean nothing to her Western values mean nothing to her She is beyond good and evil Snow Girl Set fire to yourself on a train Don't approach your life with a sword Burning breast your heart's in flame But your eyelids shield you from the law I won't stamp on your coal eyes That poison tongue tasted stone Built out of tears so you cannot lie The voice of the wind tells you you are not alone Snow girl I burn you Snow girl I melt you Your hair is on fire When I touch you you melt Strong in the shadows But you cannot leave your room Knife inside you sharpens its blade Tick tick hammer and nail Tick tick hammer and nail Snow girl I burn you Snow girl I melt you Your hair is on fire When I touch you you melt Snow girl snow girl I burn you I melt you Blood Money Teeth beckon you Who says guns speak louder Who says guns speak louder Money's a weapon of terror Money's a weapon of terror Spiders I can trust open my chest An order is an order Even when it makes no sense An order is an order Even when An order is an order An order is an order Spiders I can trust open my Teeth beckon you Man trap Thumb screw Skulls teeth shine Skulls teeth shine Iron maiden We are hungry and cold Spiders I can trust open my chest Boil my heart alive Money's a weapon of terror Who says guns speak louder who says guns speak Louder What does it feel like to kill a man How can you wash the blood off your hands Mercenary missionary mercenary missionary What does it feel like to kill a man Savage Sea I was waiting for a mermaid to appear Saying come little boy drown your fear So young we're the new explorers With the spirit of Doctor Livingston We'll talk to the savage sea It's the only direction for you and me We won't die together in the desert We'll escape from the men of prey We'll smile like the French Resistance And laugh at the guillotine We'll talk to the savage sea It's the only direction for you and me Disapproved of life around them So they created a world of their own You're my last request before the firing squad But bullets cannot penetrate the sea We'll hide in the savage sea It's the only direction for you and me Why should heroes always die in battle Take the violin We're exiles Words Disobey Me Scream of my heartbeat Those who know don't speak Speak the unspoken First words of a child Words which make black white Words which make men bite Words which make the air bleed Scream of my heartbeat Truth is a feeling But it's not a sound Truth is a feeling But it's not a sound We don't need words Throw them away Please don't blame me Words disobey me Speak the first word Speak the last word Please don't blame me Words disobey me Don't Call Me Pain Don't Call Me Pain My name is mystery Don't Call Me Pain My name is mystery Don't Call Me Pain This is the age of chance This is the age of chance Don't call me pain Being afraid is power T-O-R-T-U-R-E Being afraid is power T-O-R-T-U-R-E Being afraid is power T-O-R-T-U-R-E Soldiers soldiers soldiers March through your eyes Obey because you either love or fear Mercy mercy mercy Let U.S. bleed happily Let U.S. bleed in peace Nothing is impossible When you're living on the brink Shown the world But cut off your hands We fear what we do not understand Soldiers soldiers soldiers March through your eyes Fire your finger in the dark Fire your finger in the dark Don't Call Me Pain My name is mystery Don't Call Me Pain My name is mystery This is the age of chance so they say The Boys From Brazil Jungle protects the past Jungle protects the past Man in white pressed finger tips Against suntanned bodies Steaming skins and silver hair Even better than a medal Even better than a medal When in Rome Electric cavemen When in Rome Propeller dying When in Rome Silently praying My honour is my loyalty Is life more precious than property Here comes the bride All dressed in white Time to think Can we have a little more light Palm oil Surrounded by burnt bodies Over the phone came hate Why do the girls always follow the boys from Brazil Why do the girls always follow the boys from Brazil Why have I been spared Vengeance Why have I been spared if not for vengeance Vengeance for those wasted years If we forget the past we're doomed to repeat it Don't Sell Your Dreams Speak chain lightning Words of blue glass Smash the sound barrier Steal the speed of light Bury the sun And drink up Drink up the night Please don't sell your dreams Please don't sell your dreams Speak chain lightning Paint a new sound Strike a new colour Catch catch catch a thought Tears of dust, swallowed by the air Please don't sell your dreams Please don't sell your dreams Don't live in somebody else's dream Don't live in somebody else's dream Trap Trap Snap my skin trap Scissors cut the seam cage limb from limb cage now the sand flows in snap my skin scissors cut the seam limb from limb, now the sand flows in chorus Life life life life life is

thief of fire We do not have anything We have not learned anything We do not know anything Do not understand We do not sell anything We do not help But we will betray And we will not forget And we

I'm like a tramp in its cage Flower in Moscow Losers take all We are here to go All lovers betray All lovers betray Genius or Lunatic If they don't like your views and they don't like your art they put you in a mental home and take your mind apart and they'll put you in a padded cell because you're too creative and torture you to hell and you're lucky you're allowed to live chorus: Genius or lunatic Genius or ... And you're full of anger and you know you're sane it's those who put you there who are corrupt and insane they did it to Van Gogh they did it to Andreas they said I'd said enough and now it's away with me chorus What's the borderline between genius or lunatic shut up! and you'll be fine dissent and you'll be mentally sick let me out of here... (Sager, Stewart, Smith, Waddington, Underwood) Colour Blind He knew the secrets He knew how to cry But we didn't ask him if he wanted to die Secret impulses Quivering sexual spasms Only the intense can dance without moving Naked cold heart Open only to darkness Blackness is light when you're shut off from sunlight I am not haunted by the age of indecision calling me back from the past calling me to leave the other men chorus: only the intense can dance without moving His creative blood was warm White man cut with ice Only that can tell you the colour of Christ He died upon the flaming cross the link is forever lost. (Sager, Waddington, Underwood, Stewart, Smith) Spanish Inquisition Who has the right to Who has the right to Who has the right to judge We are silent here as silent as bullets in a barrel as quiet as a church mouse badges names and bad institution Beware it's the Spanish Inquisition They say that we must lie in order to tell the truth But I'm not sure Do I believe everything I read? I do not believe I cannot believe I cannot believe Protection of our lives by fear We're going witch hunting We're in a lynch mob (Smith, Stewart, Catsis, Sager, Waddington) Kiss the Book Searching for love in the library of a ghost town finding Cleopatra tra tra The child is singing that it's written on your skin Breaking out the butterfly Kiss the walls of the glass house Take the law into your own hands White deaf and dumb White deaf and dumb Kiss the book (vow) kiss the book (revenge) kiss the book (honour) k-kiss (kiss the book) k-kiss the book Searching for love in the library of a ghost town Cleopatra Cleopatra Cleopatra Cleopatra If only silence could sing I'd find it written on your skin If only silence could sing I'd find it written on your skin Walls have ears and arms too Take the law into your own hands White deaf and dumb (repeat chorus and adlib) (Stewart, Smith, Sager, Waddington, Underwood) Amnesty Report Stomach head and genitals Choked until unconscious Cold water poured in the ears Plastic bag held over head Thrown against the walls Then they were thrown against the wall Then they were hit with karate chops Beaten in the face Bending of the wrists Lifted up by the ears Burnt with cigarettes And teeth knocked out Then they were spread-eagled on the floor Then they were spread-eagled on the floor And then jumped upon And then jumped upon And then jumped upon (Catsis, Sager, Stewart, Waddington, Smith) Springer "Dear old South Land" had three notes in each measure but they weren't used to that kind of syncopation yeah! I told them teenagers I played it I taught them Finally though they had to suffer Because he liked his playing But my interests went deeper But my interests went deeper (M. Springer) Sense of Purpose Science has no soul Science has no conscience We are not fuel We are not consequences Unseen invisible ghost in a machine No need for thought Science is divine We cannot lose control We cannot play at God We cannot play at God We were chosen, thought we were good But our child possessed us, and drank our blood Science has no soul Science has no conscience We are not fuel We are not consequences Repeat chorus Unseen ghost in a machine No need for thought Science is divine Science is the hunter Science is the beast Impersonating angels Sucked up to hell [or is it 'short cut to hell'?] Chorus (Waddington, Smith, Sager, Underwood, Stewart) We Are Time No waiting No running No searching behind I will take you time I will break you mine Waiting is a crime All will be now Dreams are too fast You are the first We are the last No sequence to follow No fear of tomorrow Kiss of neverness Life of timelessness We'll break the speed of change We'll tame eternity Time is within you Shine through your eyes We'll kill the word Black letter lies Lies lies lies lies lies Your world is built on lies (Sager, Stewart, Smith, Waddington, Underwood) Forces of Oppression (It's Good Training for Us) Training for us, it's good training for us against the forces of oppression. Riots in the Grove, road blocks in Brixton, vigilantes in St. Paul's, Handsworth and all. And they come with lead in their batons, pretending, defending the National Front. With their symbol of hate right in our face. Paramilitary exercises in the ghetto.... the rich get richer, and the poor will die. TAPE: "...and I do know of people from the underground who constantly carried weapons, and I could not avoid the impression that to them, they were a boost to their masculinity. The weapons multiplied their virility...." The armed wing is Column 88, Column 88, the return of the Panthers, Column 88... It's good training for us against the forces of oppression. Self-defence is no offence. (Co-written with Archie Poole of RAPP - Radical Alliance of Black Poets and Players) One Out of Many (Last Poets arr.) This song 'E - PLURIBUS - UNUM' was reproduced with much appreciation from the album 'Chastisement' by The Last Poets on Blue Thumb Records. BTS 39 ©. (Alafia Pudim) Selfish desires are burning like fire among those who horde the gold As they continue to keep the people asleep and the truth from being told Racism and greed keep the people in need from getting what's rightfully theirs Cheating, Stealing, and Double Dealing as they exploit the people's fears. Now Dow Jones owns the people's homes and all the surrounding land, buying and selling their humble dwelling in the name of the master plan 'Cause paper money is like a bee without honey with no stinger to back him up, And those who stole the people's gold are definitely corrupt. Credit cards, Master Charge, Legacies of wills, Real Estate, Stocks and Bonds on coupons, paper bills. Now the U.S. mints on paper prints, millions every day and use the Eagle for their symbol, 'cause it's a bird of prey. Now the laurels of peace and the arrows of wars are clutched very tightly in the eagle's claws, filled with greed and lust and on the back of the dollar bill is the words In God We Trust. But the Dollar bill is their only God and they don't even trust each other and for a few dollars more they'd start a war to exploit some brother's mother. Then there's the Pyramid that stands by itself, created by Black people's knowledge and wealth and over the Pyramid hands the Devil's eye that stole from the truth and created the lie. Now Annuit means an endless amount stolen over the years and Coeptis means a New Empire of Vampire millionaires, and Novus is a latin word meaning something new and Ordo means a way of life chosen by a few. Seclorum is a word that means to take from another, knowledge, wisdom and understanding stolen from the brother. Roman numerals on the base of the Pyramid's face tell the date they began to exist when they established this branch of hell in 1776. Now there are thirteen layers of stone on the Pyramid alone an unfinished work of art. For 33-1/3 is how high a Mason can go without falling apart. Thirteen stars in the original flag, 13 demons from the Devil's bag! 13 berries and 13 leaves! 13 colonies of land robbing thieves! 13 arrows in the Eagle's claws, 67 corporations wage the Devil's wars, 13 stripes on the Eagle's shield, and these are the symbols of the U.S. seal. Now on the front of the Dollar Bill to the Right of Washington's head is a small seal in the shape of a wheel with a secret that's been left unsaid. The symbols in the middle represent the riddle in the scales, the ruler and the key The Square rule is a symbol from the craft of Masonry. The scales represent Libra, the balance of the seventh sign, they also represent the just-us which you and I know is blind. The key unlocks the mysteries of the secrets of the seal, so that only the Govern-U-Men will know what they reveal. The four words above from the last parts of, the secrets of the seal and tells how they fooled the people into thinking paper money was real. Now Theasaur means treasuries, where they store the gold they stole. And Amer means to punish like the slaves they bought and sold. Then Septent means seven, like 1776 when the thirteen devils gathered to unleash their bag of tricks. Then Sigil means the images they've created to fool the world, like the colors on old Glory the flag that they unfurled. Now Red's for the color of the Indian Man, White's for the devils who stole the land, Blue's for the eyes that hypnotised with the tricks and traps they've sprung and even to this very same day they all speak with forked tongue. And so the power's in the hands of the ruling classes playing God with the fate of all the masses so the people don't get any in the land of the plenty 'CAUSE E PLURIBUS UNUM MEANS ONE OUT OF MANY. Blind Faith Blind Faith When the crowds cry Blind Faith When the crowds cry Blind Faith When the crowds cry We won't play your silly games Won't follow your leaders We are lemmings We are sheep Contented slaves Castration Let's kill their reason We're controlled heroes I don't believe I can't believe I don't believe I can't believe Tongue removed at birth I had my tongue removed at birth I had my tongue removed at birth Life is not blind but we are I saw stones and men's hooves in the moonlight (Occult fascist) Thank you parents Thank you media Thank you teachers Thank you friends for all that I have been taught Only do what you have been taught Blind Faith When the crowds cry Blind Faith They say their work is good but I say it's immoral Prophets are hunted and imprisoned While uniformed mass murderers become heroes Feed the Hungry Greed? Feed the hungry In the mines of Bolivia In the factories of South Africa In the streets of Indonesia Exploitation Greed Feed the hungry More than 10,000 men women children die of starvation every day The major cause of famine and poverty is organised human greed Feed the hungry In the camps of Cambodia In the shanty towns of India In the prisons of Argentina Exploit cheap labour Exploitation The rape of the Third World Western bankers decide who lives and who dies 28 human beings 21 of them children die as a result of hunger every minute every hour of every day Profit is thicker than blood I present the illuminati They exploit cheap labour Here come the imperialists Here come the Rockefellers Here come the Rothchildes Here comes Carrington Here comes B.P. Here comes America Here comes Russia Here comes China with their policies of aid So few own so much Take it For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder? Just one question For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder? Tolerance is a mask of apathy Attrition is a daily policy There's a hell of a lot of money to be made from wars What's pathetic is our apathy in the face of the misery of others Our inaction in the face of their murder and enslavement is a violent crime There is guilt and there is action All that we ask for is our very own garden of Eden Nixon and Kissinger should be tried for war crimes for the secret bombing of Cambodia P.L.O. spells Plutonium The Muslims are rising up Jihad! That means holy war Every badly paid moment of boredom on the production line is a violent crime For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder? In our ignorance, people are killed In your decadence, people die All that we ask for is our very own garden of Eden All that we get is a garden of interballistic missiles Phallic nuclear warheads were born in the hearts of men Why let sadistic mass murderers control our world Action to back up belief Children born with un-acclaimed joy Children born with un-acclaimed joy Just heard that President Carter is threatening military intervention American aircraft carriers are heading for Iran Justice
I wake up every dayAnd look at my country This is what the blind man sees Does it look like justice to you It doesn't look like justice to me They've got to protect their property Better phone up the police Call up corruption Who killed Blair Peach? Political prisoners caught at Southall And tried by kangaroo courts A man had to have his balls removed After being kicked by the S.P.G. It doesn't look like justice to me Have your heard the rumours You've got 2 years till conscription Do you want to go fight Zimbabwe Do you want to go fight in Ireland Soon it's got to be you and me Who guards the guards Who polices the police What happened at Red Lion Square Who killed Kevin Gately Jimmy Kelly arrested in Liverpool And later died in custody And they'll bring in the army To break up the strikes And they'll bring the legal terrorists To control civil disorders Ireland is their practice ground To control civil disorders Our very own Vietnam Who guards the guards Who polices the police Who There Are No Spectators There are no spectators You participate whether you like it or not There are no spectators You are responsible whether you like it or not There is no neutral No one is innocent and no one will be forgiven Escapism is not freedom Voyeurs of the armageddon To wash your hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means you are taking sides with the oppressors watch out for the magicians Some man see things as they are and ask why? I dream things that never were and ask why not? We are all accessories to murder There is guilt and there is action Bring the war into the peoples home Bring the war into the peoples home Jihad Only you can prevent the armageddon Only you can be your own liberator Only you Where There's a Will...

The other songs I had copies of printed lyrics from the albums or elsewhere. So if you can help me with this one, please do!] Thanks, Preston, for filling in some blanks.
