Lyrics

A history of protest used to mark you down As someone witrh a conscience and a brain Credit due for what was done but that was then Unannounced the boundaries have changed For living counter-culture as peaceful as you like For gathering on corners especially at night For relatives in places on the list that got supplied Arrested without warning and still no trial in sight Everyone's a terrorist in waiting One by one we all get redefined Everyone's a terrorist in waiting Our innocence is just a state of mind When the anger vent has no real intent And words can travel far You can't say 'bomb the bastards' (unless we already are) And if in overexcitement You suggest we smash the state They'll pull you in for questioning And look closely at your mates Everyone's a terrorist in waiting One by one we all get redefined Everyone's a terrorist in waiting Our innocence is just a state of mind Demonstration, hesitation What's the legal situation? Broke the law doing no more Than something that you did before Its national security Its protection for the free But who's secure and above the law? It isn't you or me Everyone's a terrorist in waiting One by one we all get redefined Everyone's a terrorist in waiting Our innocence is just a state of mind
