The Style Council - A Stone's Throw Away lyrics
[The Style Council - A Stone's Throw Away lyrics]
For liberty there is a cost -
It's broken skulls and leather cosh
From the boys in uniform - now
You know whose side they're on
With backing - with blessing
From earthly gods not heaven
A stone's throw away from it all
Whatever pleasures those who get - from
Stripping skin with rhino whip
Are the kind that must be stopped -
Before their kind take all we've got
With loving - with caring
They take great pride in working
The stone's throw away from it all
Whenever honesty persists - you'll hear
The snap of broken ribs
Of anyone who'll take no more -
Of the lying bastards roar
In Chile - In Poland
Johannesburg - South Yorkshire
A stone's throw away: Now we're there
It's broken skulls and leather cosh
From the boys in uniform - now
You know whose side they're on
With backing - with blessing
From earthly gods not heaven
A stone's throw away from it all
Whatever pleasures those who get - from
Stripping skin with rhino whip
Are the kind that must be stopped -
Before their kind take all we've got
With loving - with caring
They take great pride in working
The stone's throw away from it all
Whenever honesty persists - you'll hear
The snap of broken ribs
Of anyone who'll take no more -
Of the lying bastards roar
In Chile - In Poland
Johannesburg - South Yorkshire
A stone's throw away: Now we're there
