White Coasts Lyrics - New Model Army

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 than 

Who died in vain 

Down at the lab they're working still 

Finishing off 

How do we tell the people in the white coasts 

Enough is enough is enough is enough 

CHORUS 

Hey hey I listen to you pray 

As if some help will come 

Hey Hey she will dance on your graves 

When we're dead and gone 

When we're died and gone 

You and I we made no suicide pact 

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 

Hey Hey I listen to you pray .... 

Now beneath the fitted carpets 

Beyond the padded cells 

Within these crimes of passion 

The naked truth she dwells 

And this fury's just apart 

And this thunder's just apart 

Desire is just apart 

The cracking ice this splitting rock 

CHORUS 

Hey Hey I listen to you pray ... 

As children learn about the world 

We built that wall of sand 

Along the beach we laboured hard 

With our bare hands we worked 

Until the sun went down 

Beneath the waves 

And the tight call rolling splashing in 

Washed the wall again 

How do we tell the people in the white coasts 

Enough is enough
