lyrics

Never thought I'd find you
Standing with the dogs and the guns in the street
Never thought I'd wind up
Breathing in the gas of the protest police
I couldn't love you
In the way that you wanted to be
Now we just talk of you
And how you've shamed our name

You've been a long, long way from home
The things you've found have turned you around
Long, long way from home
We would never be men again

The places you've contacted
Teach nonviolence and humility
But the lessons you've extracted
Feed greed and self-sufficiency
You've won earthly power
Over men and their dominion
Now we just beseech you
And curse the day you were born

You've been a long, long way from home
The things you've found have turned us around
Long, long way from home
We would never be men again
