the beautiful south
i think the answer's yes
I'm walking through these pastures  I'm picking up sweet fruit  I'm shaking hands with people  That previously I'd shoot  But nothing will dissuade me  Nothing will dilute  I want to execute  I want to execute   And you tend to meet a lot of scum en route  It doesn't mean you've joined the other side  And because I still wear shorts and my smile is oh so cute  It doesn't mean I'll run away and hide   To a world where the leaders finally confess  (I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)  To the burning of the Stock Exchange and bombing of the press  (I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)   I think the answer's yes, yes, yes, I think the answer's yes   I'm walking through these corridors  Where crime meets pantomime  They're laughing and they're drinking  On the swill of overtime  And no-one seems to know about  The death-wish that they've signed  Ah, life's unkind  Ah, life's unkind   And they see me as a potential new recruit  They rub their hands, slap their backs and smile  But I still wear suspenders underneath my business suit  So needn't worry about me for a while   So to a world without hunger, where royalty face death  (I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)  To the breaking down of barriers of North, South,  East and West  (I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)   I think the answer's yes, yes, yes, I think the answer's yes  I think the answer's yes, yes, yes, I think the answer's yes   And no-one seems to know about  The death-wish that they've signed  Ah, life's unkind  Ah, life's unkind  Life's unkind, life's unkind  From poor old U2 to poor old Simple Minds  No amnesty for murderers of poor old working class  Rope or gas, rope or gas, rope or gas  No amnesty for murderers of poor old working class  Rope or gas, rope or gas
