Nothing We Can Do

(album: Faster Than The Speed Of Light - 1980)

Dancing to the guns
Skeletons return

Nothing we can do
Nothing we can do

See them split and groan
Wild beasts on the prowl
Can't find agreement
Just a power hungry howl

Nothing we can do
Nothing we can do
Nothing we can do
Nothing we can do

Bloody tears haunt the face of humanity

Don't talk to me
Or try to name a price
Showdown's coming, people running
Like a polar bear on ice
Raise high the banners
Sound out the call
And human nature's human nature
It's got nowhere to fall

Nothing we can do
Nothing we can do
Nothing we can do
Nothing we can do
No, no, no

Nothing we can do
Nothing we can do
Nothing we can do
No, no, no
Nothing we can do

Bloody tears haunt the face of humanity

One thing is strange
No matter where I turn
Thunder menaces
Do I carry it with me
Is there no escape
Do I carry it with me
Is there no escape, no

Wild beasts on the prowl

Nothing we can do
Nothing we can do

Wild beasts on the prowl
People running
Wild beasts on the prowl

Nothing we can do
Oh no
Nothing we can do
No, no, no
Nothing we can do
Oh no
Nothing we can do
No, no, no...

Bloody tears haunt the face of humanity
