eskatology - just us lyrics

[intro: uncle kev starkey]
time and time again, we’ve seen this all before
brothers, sisters, children just left dying on the floor

[verse 1: eskatology]
over forty years, we don’t see the justice
sometimes it feels like it’s just us
but theirs no we in anniversary
what the family sees with the memory
of the dearly departed, these lone hearted
took a life that has barely been started
my uncle left in a hospital ward
died from pneumonia was official report
1960 to ’96 is what thе stone represеnts
cuffed to a bed, treated poor, now he rests
sometimes we gotta ask where’s the trust
we gotta ask now who represents us
‘stead we here feeling all the attacks
every time, one eye on the jacks
stripping brothers down to their bare backs
see the holes form when the system’s cracked
[chorus: uncle kev starkey]
once again, our tears fall
once again, children dying on the floor
once again, our tears fall
once again, children dying on the floor

[verse 2: eskatology]
jon patt left to die in a prison cell
only sixteen, didn’t get a chance to excel
because he knell while his head swell
police acquitted, ask how the family feel
forty years too late, a royal commission
corrupted police aren’t in prison
listed victims four hundred and addition
what’s my mission? solidarity in transition
led fully into inquisitions
k+mina k+mina means respect the first name
when they pass, you can’t say it again
i don’t hate police, but i crave the justice
‘stead the outcomes never discuss us
and these people in power, are they racists?
what i see is a lot of misplaced hatred
risk take every time you leave your places
amplied voices unmodulated
speaking on those of a persecuted statement
[chorus: uncle kev starkey]
once again, our tears fall
once again, children dying on the floor
once again, our tears fall
once again, children dying on the floor

[outro]
who’s gonna stand up and speak out ’bout the injustice?
sometimes it feels like there’s only just us, you know?
what are we fighting for?
how are we gonna fight it, you know?
