Lyrics

For liberty there is a cost - it's broken skulls and leather cosh
From the boys in uniform - now you know whose side they're on -
With backing - with blessing
From earthly gods not heaven
A stone's throw away from it all

Whatever pleasures those who get - from stripping skin with rhino whip
Are the kind that must be stopped - before their kind take all we've got -
With loving - with caring
They take great pride in working
The stone's throw away from it all

Whenever honesty persists - you'll hear the snap of broken ribs
Of anyone who'll take no more - of the lying bastards' roar -
In chile - in poland
Johannesburg - south yorkshire
A stone's throw away: now we're there
