Hear No Evil [Remastered]

It's midnight and the rally's empty
Quiet as a snake at rest
It's empty as an urchin's belly
Silent as the stifled press

Hear no evil
See no evil
Just be careful
What you say
And welcome to democracy
Our country RSA

Cold and homeless, huddled hungry
The boys in blue are also there
And from the slaughterhouse
The stench of blood is carried on the air

Hear no evil
See no evil
Just be careful
What you say
And welcome to democracy
Our country RSA

And on the rise the prison stands
Defiant as the law
And my conviction limps
At contemplating life behind that door

Hear no evil
See no evil
Just be careful
What you say
And welcome to democracy
Our country RSA

It's midnight and the rally's empty
Quiet as a snake at rest
It's empty as an urchin's belly
And silent as the stifled press

Hear no evil
See no evil
Just be careful
What you say
And welcome to democracy
Our country RSA

Hear no evil
See no evil
Just be careful
What you say
And welcome to democracy
Our country RSA
