Testo We Didn't Know What Was Going On - Tom Robinson Band

Testo della canzone We Didn't Know What Was Going On (Tom Robinson Band), tratta dall'album 2-4-6-8 Motorway: Best Of

The country was in turmoil with new crises by the hour
When one in three were out of work, the Nazis swept to power
As life returned to normal, law and order won the day
While all our rights and liberties were voted clean away
Yeah, yeah
Voted clean away
They were cynical and ruthless, they'd manipulate the news
And smear or persecute the few who dared to speak the truth
Opponents had their phone tapped and campaigners felt the heat
With terror suspects accidentally gunned down in the street
Yeah, yeah
People gunned down in the streets
But the radio and papers said the same thing every day
The government is wonderful, the country's doing great
And if someone else is suffering, they've got themselves to blame
Don't say if you were in our shoes you wouldn't do the same
And say
We didn't know what was going on
We didn't know what was going on
We didn't know what was going on
We say we didn't know what was going on
From Tel Aviv to Cape Town, from Shanghai to East Berlin
From Washington to Panama, the years have come and been
From Delhi to Sri Lanka, from Whitehall to Coleraine
The times may be a-changing but the story's just the same
Yeah, yeah
The story's still the same
Because the radio and papers say the same thing every day
The government is wonderful, the country's doing great
And if someone else is suffering, they've got themselves to blame
Don't say now you are in our shoes you won't do the same
And say
We didn't know what was going on
We say we didn't know what was going on
We didn't know what was going on
We didn't know what was going on
We didn't know what was going on
We say we didn't know what was going on
We didn't know what was going on
