The More I See (The Less I Believe) Lyrics by Fun Boy Three

Waiting

0

The more that I see, the less I believe
The barbed wire fences have replaced all the trees
The houses of God are full of sinners every week
Praying for forgiveness for those they leave to bleed
And they keep telling me, it's not my concern
But when petrol bombs fly, when cars overturn
When you see children cry because the cities are burning
Who's gonna show concern
Belfast's only half an hour away (Belfast)
Close your eyes but it won't go away (Belfast)
Belfast's only half an hour away (Belfast)
Belfast's only half an hour away (Belfast)
But the more that I see, the less I believe
Like countries split in two through religion, tradition, and greed
The devil's purse is put upon those who have solutions
And those like me too ignorant to find my own conclusions
Is that what they're telling me, it's not my concern
But when I see children crying 'cause that's all they can do
They are crying for help and they're looking at you
What are you supposed to do?
Belfast's only half an hour away (Belfast)
Close your eyes but it won't go away (Belfast)
Belfast's only half an hour away (Belfast)
Belfast's only half an hour away (Belfast)
The governing powers are confused, the armies becoming bemused
Another bomb becomes defused and the terrorists aren't amused
Paisley is getting his shirt off, Sinn Fein are going insane
They strike to divide the countryside but the borderline remains
Another attack leaves a widow in black, grieving for her bereaved
Another kid with a brick gets shot in the back and gets left on the pavement to bleed
And they keep telling me, it's not my concern
It's not my concern, it's not my concern
Belfast's only half an hour away (Belfast)
Close your eyes but it won't go away (Belfast)
Belfast's only half an hour away (Belfast)
Belfast's only half an hour away (Belfast's only half an hour away)
Does anybody know any jokes?
Does anybody know any jokes?
Does anybody know any jokes?
