lyrics

If they had half a mind
Maybe they could use it
Take up too much of their time
Too confusing

Now it wouldn't happen
All the time
But you hear them talking
About their kind
While they seem intelligent otherwise
I never fail to be surprised
Every time I hear their bile
And see the poison in their eyes
They can never justify their lies
But they try, oh yes they try

If they had half a mind
Maybe they could use it
Take up too much of their time
Too confusing

They can talk and talk
Until the cows come home
But they'll never convince me
That I'm wrong
We look after them
And not our own
So they say, so the story goes
Always need a scapegoat
Always someone else's fault
It's all just bloody lies
Just bloody lies

If they had half a mind
Maybe they could use it
Take up too much of their time
Too confusing

A Nice little Ska sampler . a lot of great tracks, the best being The Scotch Bonnets - Sheena Is A Punk Rocker! Avoid the Sham 69 cover - just as bad as the original. Erasmus Windage
