Innocence

Eva Hamer

CHORUS
C                                         G             G7
In your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes is innocence
                                      G          C
You are guilty of no crime, so you will die with innocence

C                               C7
You heard bad news spreading slowly
F                        C
But out here it’s clear as day
              C                Em
Though no war time count will take you
F      G7        C
We will lose you anyway

CHORUS

I see truckloads of your sisters
Coming here each week at dawn
And they’ll only be remembered
Nameless bodies all along

CHORUS

The police aren’t here to save you
And your life is almost gone
They’ll protect the laws that hurt you
But they can’t do that very long

CHORUS

Close your eyes when the men come
With the dead looks and the gloves
In your last breath, please forgive them
For they know not what they’ve done
