All Of This Lyrics - New Model Army

There's a sentry in a uniform to watch the VIPs along the hall 

Strategical discussions taking place behind the steel plated wall 

The agents issue the statements to the waiting press who circulate the words 

Justification, propaganda, Western foreign policy across the world 

In the name of the people 

All of this is done in the name of the people 

They read their books and study hard, cigarettes lit in the claustrophobic gloom 

West of the University Road, the world outside is ghost-like in the room 

Frustrated and impatient and intelligence sharp and twisted like a child 

Death is an aphrodisiac now, the fuses on the table slowly wired 

In the name of the people 

All of this is done in the name of the people 

Hold me tight, hold me fast 

Standing here on the wrong side 

Of this bullet-proof glass 

There are no questions left for us to ask 

It's soldiers night at the discotheque, pick up a girl and drink to home afar 

Spending money like water on the watered drinks available at the bar 

The ones who never were given much, never asked much of anything in recall 

But there's a black bag in the corner and it doesn't belong to anyone here at all 

In the name of the people 

All of this is done in the name of the people
