Smear Campaign

[Music: Harris, Lyrics: Greenway] 


Don't look upon the spoils with accusing gaze 
Don't insinuate that this stranglehold should really break 
Don't jab conspiratorial fingers in that direction 
Don't hold up to the light their dregs of purified poison 


Gently you'll be dissuaded, brought around 


Don't work out that the suffering mind knows when to die 
Don't drink from jewelled chalices and wonder why 
Don't steal back from exploiters that stripped you bare 
Don't arrive back to thinking that he's got your share 


Somehow you've been dissuaded and shut out 


Objections raised all softened to a murmur 
Wanton blasphemers shrink down in this vacuum 


Loudest base pleasures stifled to a whimper 
Colour and shade is so bland in this vacuum 


Repentant - you've been muzzled in their open arms
