White Coats Lyrics

Well we know what makes the flowers grow
But we don't know why
And we all have the knowledge of DNA
But we still die
We perch so thin and fragile here
Upon the land
And the earth that moves beneath us we don't understand
So we rush towards the Judgement Day when She reclaims
A toast to the Luddite martyrs then
Who died in vain

Down at the lab they're working still
Finishing off
How do we tell the people in the white coats
Enough is enough?

Chorus:
Hey hey I listen to you prayers if some help will come
Hey hey She will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone

You and I we made no suicide pacts
We didn't want to die
But we watch the wall little darling
While the chemical trucks go by
This desperate imitation now
Of innocence
Those last few days at Jonestown ain't got nothing on this

Chorus:

Now beneath the fitted carpets
Beyond the padded cells
Within these crimes of passion
The naked truth She dwells
And this fury's just a part
And this thunder's just a part
Desire is just a part
The cracking ice, the splitting rock

Chorus:

As children learn about the world
We built that wall of sand
Along the beach we laboured hard
With out bare hands
We worked until the sun went down
Beneath the waves
And the tide came rolling splashing in
Washed the wall away
How do we tell the people in the white coats
Enough is enough?
