Reign Of Blows Lyrics - The Big Express - Xtc

Reign of blows 

Reign of blows 

Reign of blows cascading down upon your shoulders 

Far too many men dressed up as soldiers 

The lamb is brought to the ground 

Under the weight of the Crown 

A crown of thorns and dark deeds 

The swastika and the hammer and symbol 

Are sickles that reap only weeds 

Reign of blows 

Reign of blows 

Reign of blows precedes a storm of revolution 

People have no place in their solution 

So torture raises its head 

Decked out in blue, white, and red 

And iron maidens will slam 

And by the half light of burning republics 

Joe Stalin looks just like Uncle Sam 

Reign of blows 

Reign of blows 

Reign of blows has washed away the corpse of Abel, 

Cain is now the king in every Babel 

I just don't care who you are 

When death draws up in his car 

And talks in terrorist tones 

Remember violence is only a vote for the 

Black Queen to take back the throne 

Reign of blows
