Ub40 - Madame Medusa lyrics

From the land of shadows Comes a dreadful sight Lady with the marble smile Spirit of the night See the scourge of innocence Swinging in her hand Hear the silent suffering That echoes through the land From the tombs of ignorance Of hate and greed and lies Through the smoke of sacrifice Watch her figure rise The sick the poor the old Basking in her radiance Men of blood and gold In her bloody footsteps Speculators prance Men of dreams are praying For that second chance Round her vacant features Gilded serpents dance Her tree of evil knowledge Sprouts a special branch Madam Medusa Madam Medusa Madam Medusa Knock her right down And then she bounce right back Knock her right down And then she bounce right back She gone off her head We've got to shoot her dead She gone off her head We've got to shoot her dead Run for your life before she eat you alive Run for your life before she eat you alive Move out of the way 'cause you're blocking out the day Move out of the way 'cause you're blocking out the day
