New Jerusalem

When time ran out the champions
Of Christ offered protection
For big enterprise
The spirit of the century
Was discipline
Enforced by the horror disciples

When the underdogs bite
They scream blue murder
And prey to the t.v. trinity
Free world fundamentalist
National democratic evangelical
Judge and jury

Crash cadets buy on the never never
And spit in the face
Of the lie detector
A peaceful gathering on the city street
And they're out with the c.s. gas
A renegade priest gets it in the back
So they molotov an armoured car
Grandmaster death is calling the tune
And the army are whistling dixie

Hold me hide me
I don't wanna go outside
Our hopes are a threat to them
They'll baptize you with a bullet
If you don't wanna take a ride
To the new Jerusalem

Below the starry cross
Stand the bovver boys
Judge dreadful and the
Doomsday wardens
He says shoot first
Ask questions later
Then the psychopath gets a hard on
And mows down a crowd
Of peace protesters
Who are trying to form a human chain
A tonic for the nation
In God's armour
The crusaders of a hate campaign

Hold me hide me
I don't wanna go outside
Our hopes are a threat to them
They'll baptize you with a bullet
If you don't wanna take a ride
To the new Jerusalem

New Jerusalem
New Jerusalem

If I die mysteriously
You know it's the secret society
The things I've seen
I mustn't say
They're gonna come after my skin someday

Hold me hide me
I don't wanna go outside
Our hopes are a threat to them
They'll baptize you with a bullet
If you don't wanna take a ride
To the new Jerusalem
