Take the Shortest Way with the Men of Violence Lyrics by McCarthy

Banking, Violence and the Inner Life Today

1990

When the men of violence can't get their way
When their arguments cut the wise
They reach for the gun to see what brute force can do
When their persuasion has failed
These sinister and secret men
Let's let them know that we've had enough
Of them
Let's let them know
We have seen through their lies
We've had enough of them
Ruining decent people's lives
In the interests of the minority
They wreck the lives of the majority
Let's let them know (down with the police)
We have seen through their lies (down with the R.U.C.)
We've had enough of them (down with the army)
Ruining decent people's lives
In the interests of the minority
They wreck the lives of the majority
Let's let them know (down with the police)
We have seen through their lies (down with the R.U.C.)
We've had enough of them (down with the S.A.S.)
Ruining decent people's lives
