The Fuse Lyrics

When will you learn?

When will you see the light?

When will you give comfort to them

In this endless night?

I only hope

For just one brighter day

Does your conscience ever touch you

When you walk away?

And there's a sign above the doorway

And it says no vacancy

There's a babe in arms who's screaming

Please won't someone shelter me

And every day the fuse gets shorter

Hold 'em down with law and order

And you'll deny the bloody slaughter

When the fuse burns out

Utopia

Can never really be

They don't need perfection

Just a chance that they'll be free

Their hopeless plea

Has fallen on deaf ears

And a baby cries in desperation

But still nobody hears

And he's crying cos he's hungry

And he's crying cos he's cold

And he's gonna feel a lot more pain

Before he gets too old

And every day the fuse gets shorter

Hold 'em down with law and order

And you'll deny the bloody slaughter

When the fuse burns out

You will protest and say your motives all were good

You tried to keep the balance for the brotherhood

One day you'll try to make amends for all you've done

But there'll be no escape you'll hear your funeral song

And every day the fuse gets shorter

Hold 'em down with law and order

And you'll deny the bloody slaughter

When the fuse burns out

And every day the fuse gets shorter

Hold 'em down with law and order

And you'll deny the bloody slaughter

When the fuse burns out
