Deadeye Lyrics - New Model Army

To the thoughts of the many from the minds of the few 

Voice of reason, censored view 

The truth is the News and the News is the truth 

As if that'll do as a lame excuse for 

Killing the slavers, taking the slaves 

Burying the dead, then robbing the graves 

Stealing the modesty from heroes brave 

Making the tears gush like waves 

Deadeye watches, still the killing carries on 

To the rhythm of the gunfire and the voices of concern 

Deadeye claims to be some conscience for us all 

But I was never born to be some fly upon the wall 

Window dressing and the tinsel wreath 

Stealing the pity and the widow's grief 

Sentimental with a furrowed brow 

Pinning the heart on the blooded sleeve 

Deadeye watches, still the killing carries on 

And yes I've crouched beneath the glow - dazzled by it all 

But this is not the world I know or people I recall. 

To the thoughts of the many from the minds of the few: 

Voice of reason, censored view 

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing 

Here is the butterfly, here's the wing 

Deadeye watches, still the killing carries on
