Am
There's a sentry in a uniform
                            E
To watch the VIPs along the wall
     Am
Strategical discussions taking place
                        E
Behind the steel plated wall
    Dm
The agents issue the statements
                                       Bb
To the waiting press who circulate the words
Am
Justification propaganda
                                  E
Western foreign policy across the world

       Dm
In the name of the people
              C
All of this done
       Dm
In the name of the people
              C
All of this done

They read their books and study hard
Cigarettes lit in the claustrophobic gloom
West of the University Road
The world outside is ghost-like in the room
Frustrated and impatient and
Intelligence sharp and twisted like a child
Death is an aphrodiasiac now
The fuses on the table slowly wired

In the name of the people...

Am            Bb       Dm    (Bb)
Hold me tight, hold me fast
Am                   Bb
Standing here on the wrong side
        Dm                   (Bb)
Of this bullet-proof glass
      Am               B              Em
