Viewing lyrics for Counterfeit Penitence (Live) by Preacher.

Edwards/Williams/Bushell/Letson/Hill

Recorded live at The Snooty Fox,
Wakefield 2011.

Don't mock my laws 'cos I betray the just as I live by yours
You rock your jaws but you're saying nothing
Your dirty paws are losing grip with their blunted claws
Forget your cause 'cos revolution is coming

Time to face judgement from me

For victims tarred with assumptions of guilt
With pleas ignored democracy wilts
All this you chose defying reason
For wealth unknown you sell your treason

Without reform never justice felt
I'll play your game
One less face to blame
Freedom seekers set to lead the way
Change your game
Brand you with a mark of shame

Fools engaged in an endless scuffle
Fight amongst yourselves as freedom dies

You don your wig and cloak to tell your sentence joke
Defending the rights of the wrong
When men of violence counterfeit penitence
You slap their wrists and move along

Just hand the bastards to me

No padding cells with comforts of home
Abuse our rights and forfeit your own
To end a life is to feel the nail
By fear alone the righteous prevail

Hope won't reach where education failed
I've played your game
Only you to blame
Keep denying that the system's stale
One last game
New rules new way

We gave our trust and you fucked us
Don't expect us to believe the lie

End division
Unite the classes
One true justice for the masses
