How could you beat your woman till you see tears? <br />Got your children living in fear, <br />How you gonna wash the blood from your hands? <br />Selling debt to fiends <br />Barely fifteens <br />So you can have another option and rip off your dreams <br />Tell me.. <br />How you gonna wash the blood from your hands? <br />You claim you're doing God's work <br />Greet the family with a smile <br />When all the while <br />You been raping that child <br />You a priest but you still can't <br />Wash the blood from your hands. <br />The self hate they create in your hair <br />Got you pickin' up their weapons <br />And leaving your brothers there, <br />Tell me.. <br />How you gonna wash the blood from your hands? <br /><br />Refrain: <br /><br />I wonder what you gon' do <br />When he comes for you <br />Where you gon' run <br />Once he calls for you <br />Where you gonna hide <br />The day he sends for you <br />And he questions you <br />I wonder what you gonna say <br />When that day comes <br />When judgement day comes <br /><br />I'm talking bout the sins you commit <br />giving orders that permit, <br />Killing innocent kids so you can fill your pockets <br />Tell me how you gonna wash the blood from your hands? <br />Now take a look at these project buildings <br />They got us living in <br />It's like we're raised in prison cos of the colour of our skin <br />Now how you gonna wash the blood from your hands? <br />The pharmaceutical industry need to get paid <br />They're sitting on a cure <br />Watching new born babies die of AIDS <br />Tell me how you gonna wash the blood from your hands? <br />How could you keep exploiting third world children <br />Using them as underpaid slaves <br />So you can make your millions <br />How you gonna wash the blood from your hands? <br /><br />refrain <br /><br />We sit and watch why people get hurt <br />Stand to say nothing while they do the devil's work <br />Walk straight by leave them crying in the dirt <br />What kind of people does that make me n you? <br />And we could have all the good intent <br />But we sitting in silence <br />We committing greed and violence <br />Then we got blood on our hands too <br /><br />(refrain X2)
