Pj Harvey - A Line In The Sand lyrics

How to stop the murdering? By now we should have learned If we don’t then we’re a sham Bad overwhelms the good Bad overwhelms the good Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh What I’ve seen Yes, it’s changed how I see humankind I used to think progress was made We could get something right We could get something right Enough is enough A line in the sand Seven or eight thousand people k**ed by hand They stepped off the edge They did not step back If we have not learnt By now Then we’re a sham When we first got to the camp Our supplies were not enough I saw a displaced family Eating a cold horse's hoof Oh a cold horse's hoof Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh We sent up tents Brought in water Air drops were dispersed I saw people k** each other Just to get there first Oh just to get there first Enough is enough A line in the sand Seven or eight thousand people k**ed by hand They stepped off the edge They did not step back If we have not learnt By now Then we’re a sham What we did? Why we did? I make no excuse We got things wrong But I believe We also did some good What we did? Why we did? I make no excuse I believe we have a future To do something good Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
