10000 Maniacs - Please Forgive Us Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • [ music: robert buck/words: natalie merchant ]
  • Mercy, mercy, why didnt we hear it?
  • Mercy, mercy, why did we read it buried on the last page of our morning papers?
  • The plan was drafted, drafted in secret.
  • Gunboats met the red tide, driven to the rum trade for the army that they created.
  • But the bullets were bought by us, it was dollars that paid them.
  • Please forgive us, we dont know what was done in our name.
  • Therell be more trials like this in mercenary heydays.
  • When theyre so apt to wrap themselves up in the stripes and stars
  • And find that they are able to call themselves heroes
  • And to justify murder by their fighters for freedom.
  • Please forgive us, we dont know what was done.
  • Please forgive us, we didnt know.
  • Could you ever forgive us?
  • I dont know how you could.
  • I know this is no consolation.
  • Please forgive us, we didnt know.
  • Could you ever believe that we didnt know?
  • Please forgive us, we didnt know.
  • I wouldnt blame you if you never could, and you never will.
