Culture Shock (US) - Northern Ireland lyrics

Northern Ireland Situation War, within a single nation No one thinks of it as war That's what television's for Embroidering reality, with clichés and ??? We'll call this war the 'troubles' Confuse the ma**es with initials (IRA, UVA, UVA, IRA, ILA, IUC) There's so many sides involved And no one thinks it can be solved Avoidance of the history of suppression, d**h and misery Will leave the people, ignorant of everything that's relevant So who is who defending, and who's protecting who? Until you know the answers, don't pretend you do do do do don't pretend you do! So we see the brave young soldiers And we read about the murders Then we place our weak opinions On what the papers tell us But telling half the truth is as bad as telling lies For a war to keep continuing There has to be two sides! But who is who defending, who's protecting who? Until you know the answers, don't pretend you do do do do don't pretend you do! Supporting one side or the other Is really nothing more Than saying there is no solution But to carry on the war And both the IRA and the army Are equally to blame In general terms of violence You know they're doing just, they're doing just, they're doing just the same Doing just the same So who is who defending, and who's protecting who? Until you know the answers, don't pretend you do do do do don't pretend you do! Don't pretend you do, don't pretend you do, don't pretend you do do do do do
