[Verse 1] They are up on the fences, hanging by scraps In temporary trenches, out laying traps Bags wrapped 'round their faces Baseball bats and home-made tasers They've got bars and bricks and f**ing bombs And they're dangerous because they don't think they're wrong [Chorus] Are you friend or are you foe Do you meet your end, with a hammer blow Do you believe that every life is worth a shot Or do you load the bullets up to k** the lot [Verse 2] It all feels so senseless, scrambling like rats In a pit with no exits where we are the cats Murdered by the nameless k**ed in beds where they should be safest They're all mothers and fathers and children too And you're scared of them 'cause they don't look like you [Chorus] Are you friend or are you foe Do you meet your end, with a hammer blow Do you believe that every life is worth a shot Or do you load the bullets up to k** the lot [Verse 3] I've seen a man on fire burning in the street I've seen a woman buried to her neck, stoned for disbelief I've seen a man thrown from a tower because he loved another man I've seen a child soldier martyred by another child's hand I've seen a stampede ma**acre on holy ground And I've seen whole families being drowned I've seen a baby lying face down in the tide And I've seen thousands homeless begging for their f**ing lives You say they are nothing but a number But when they speak it sounds like thunder And all they want are your homes Your life, your blood, your bones
