Viewing lyrics for Smoke and mirrors by Stevie Doherty Band.

What the hell is happening in this green and pleasant land?
Children gunned down in the street murdered where they stand
Childhood and innocence cruelly blown away
Won’t live to live another day, won’t live……………………

Who the hell is listening to us anyway?
Empty hollow promises they think will save the day
Still the streets are only for murderers and thieves
It’s getting harder to believe, it’s getting……………………..

Don’t forget to vote they say your voice it will be heard
The future is within your grasp step forward and don’t be scared
You give them the power over everything you do
They turn around and say ‘fuck you, we will do what we will do’

We’ll take your boys and your men to a war that cannot be won
We’ll tell you lies as we smile and shake hands, with a man who could be the death, of us all

Come the revolution when the weak become the strong
Put them up against the wall that’s where they belong
Let them plead for their lives let them have their say
It’s all smoke and mirrors anyway
All smoke and mirrors anyway
