I remember when we were new recruits Fresh shaven heads and brand new boots Full of passion, proud and true Hanging out on the avenue CHORUS You were a false demagogue Who wanted badly to be God A soapbox preacher on a false crusade You walked away from the mess you made When I think back now it makes me sick Your mind got poisoned by politics Infected the young with your extreme views They didn't know how they were being used CHORUS You put down all who refused to follow We saw your rhetoric rang so hollow Said we were sitting on the fence You were everything you fought against CHORUS You used the scene for your own ends You made enemies out of friends Walked away once you had your fun We're still left with the damage you've done CHORUS
