The Waterboys - The Ways Of Men

I've had enough of the ways of men
Yes I've had enough of the ways of men
I've had enough of the ways of men
His sordid games rape my brain

I've had enough of his tomfoolery and shame
I've had enough of his tomfoolery and shame
I've had just enough of his tomfoolery and his shame
His sordid games rape my brain

His wind sweeps across generations up and down the plain of history
He leaves his tracks in all places, leaves his stain in all beds
He builds schools and pleasures all designed to prevent illumination
All of his games rape my brain

He put his flag in the desert but I need water !
He put his flag in the desert but I need water !
He put his flag in the desert but I need water !
He put his flag in the desert but I need water !

"Long hast thou dwelt in darkness
Quit the night and seek the Day"
