Stubbing out progress where seeds are sown Killing off anything that's not quite known Sitting around in a nice safe home Waiting for the Witch Hunt Idle plans for the idol rich Knitting the economy not dropping a stitch Destroying anything that doesn't quite fit Waiting for the Witch Hunt Still living with the English fear Waiting for the Witch Hunt, Dear Always living with the English fear Waiting for the Witch Hunt, Dear Changing your course for another way You'd better stop that or be willing to pay Never mind Son, you'll come around some day Under pressure from the Witch Hunt I was born in the wagon of a travelling show If they come for us they'll come for you, you know Mumma used to dance for the money they'd throw Whilst waiting for the Witch Hunt Still living with the European fear Waiting for the Witch Hunt, Dear Always living with the European fear Waiting for the Witch Hunt, Dear Still living with all kinds of fear Wating for the Witch Hunt, Dear

Life kicks in, the sun drips down and shadows flick like knives Over concrete wastelands strewn with glass, someone’s paid the price The primal scream from the T.V. screen says you can have your heart’s desire If you bare your soul for the ultimate goal where possessions stand you higher than Your friend or foe that you’ll never know but you’ve cursed their every move Through the paper-thin walls separating your lives where there’s nothing left to choose It’s a wonderful world if you don’t buckle under and you don’t rub against the grain In the fading light, if you’re a little bit tight you can manage to ignore the pain And life kicks in Amaro Dzipe’n And survival begins Amaro Dzipe'n Through the vale of your tears Amaro Dzipe'n Scream today I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive! Wanting something more than anyone could ever give The message slips into the brain; that vicious sedative Know your place and keep the faith and things will turn out fine and The terms of endearment are simple enough: ‘That’s yours and this is mine’ The misery of the world sits like infection in your eyes So twist your fingers, clench your fists, find someone to despise and Push against the wall of such injustice ‘til it seems The only freedom you’ll ever get is the one you touch in dreams And life kicks in Amaro Dzipe'n And survival begins Amaro Dzipe'n Through the vale of your tears Amaro Dzipe'n Just scream today I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive! Top bulbs click on in front rooms as curtains close for night The slam of door in domestic war and the sheets are drawn up tight There's tenderness in those fingertips but a horror in those eyes and The venom is passed from lip to lip, secure behind disguise A touch of sensual pleasure twists like poison in the veins The mouth smiles wide, a hideous pride and tastes the guilty stain The whispered reassurance with the hand pressed to the heart and A lost world moves behind the voice as the fingernails press the palm And life kicks in Amaro Dzipe'n And survival begins Amaro Dzipe'n Through the vale of your tears Amaro Dzipe'n Scream today: "I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive" I’ll just scream today I’m alive I’ve survived I’m alive!
