Crass - How Does It Feel? Lyrics

Send "How Does It Feel?" ringtone to your cell

When you woke this morning you looked so rocky-eyed

Blue and white normally but strange ringed like that in black.

It doesn't get much better your voice can get just ripped up shooting in vain

Maybe someone hears what you say but you're still on your own at night.

You've got to make such a noise to understand the silence.

Screaming like a jackass ringing ears so you can't hear the silence

Even when it's there - like the wind seen from the window

Seeing it but not being touched by it.

(we never asked for war nor in the innocence of our birth were we aware of it.

We never asked for war nor in the struggle to realisation did we feel there was a need for it.

We never asked for war nor in the joyful colours of our childhood were we conscious of its darkness.)

How does it feel?

How does it feel to be the mother of a thousand death?

Young boys rest now cold graves in cold earth.

How does it feel to be the mother of a thousand death?

Sunken eyes lost now; empty sockets in futile death.

Your arrogance has gutted these bodies of life

Your deceit fooled them that it was worth the sacrifice.

Your lies persuaded people to accept the wasted blood

Your filthy pride cleansed you of the doubt you should have had.

You smile in the face of the death cause you are so proud and vain

Your inhumanity stops you from realising the pain

That you inflicted you determines you created you ordered -

It was your decision to have those young boys slaughtered.

You never wanted peace or solution

From the start you lusted after war and destruction.

Your blood-soaked reason ruled out other choices

Your mockery gagged more moderate voices.

So keen to play your bloody part so impatient that your war be fought.

Iron lady with your stone heart so eager that the lesson be taught

That you inflicted you determines you created you ordered -

It was your decision to have those young boys slaughtered.

How does it feel to be the mother of a thousand death?

Young boys rest now cold graves in cold earth.

How does it feel to be the mother of a thousand death?

Sunken eyes lost now; empty sockets in futile death.

Throughout our history you and your kind

Have stolen the young bodies of the living

To be twisted and torn in filthy war.

What right have you to defile those birth?

What right have you to devour that flesh?

What right to spit on hope with the gory madness

That you inflicted you determines you created you ordered -

It was your decision to have those young boys slaughtered.

How does it feel to be the mother of a thousand death?

Young boys rest now cold graves in cold earth.

How does it feel to be the mother of a thousand death?

Sunken eyes lost now; empty sockets in futile death.

You accuse us of disrespect for the dead

But it was you who slaughtered out of national pride.

Just how much did you care? what respect did you have

As you sent those bodies to their communal grave?

You buried them rough-handed they'd given you their all

That once living flesh defiled in the hell

That you inflicted you determines you created you ordered -

It was your decision to have those young boys slaughtered.

You use those deaths to achieve your ends still

Using the corpses as a moral blackmail.

You say "think of what those young men gave"

As you try to bind us in your living death

Yet we do think of them ice cold and silence

In the snow covered moorlands stopped by the violence

That you inflicted you determines you created you ordered -

It was your decision to have those young boys slaughtered.

How does it feel to be the mother of a thousand death?

Young boys rest now cold graves in cold earth.

How does it feel to be the mother of a thousand death?

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - we don't want your fucking war!

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - we don't want your fucking war!

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - we don't want your fucking war!

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 you can stop your fucking war!
