A Different Country
Things were different way back then
We accepted different things
How our heroes sailed before the mast
And behaved the way they did
Because no-one knew to stop them
But today we’re ready to talk about the past
Seeds sown so many years ago
Lain dormant, suddenly awaking
And tear-watered, flourish fast
And grow into monstrous shapes
Cast long shadows on the guilty
And leave the public quite aghast
A long, long shameful silence
Brooding on bottled-up emotions
And how history’s since been cast
Now emerging into light of day
And moved to naming famous names
How could they expect such lies to last?
