White Coats Lyrics - New Model Army

Well we know what makes the flowers grow but we don't know why 

And we all have the knowledge of DNA but we still die 

We perch so thin and fragile here upon the land 

And the earth that moves beneath us, we don't understand 

So we rush towards the Judgment Day, when She reclaims 

A toast to the Luddite martyrs then, who died in vain 

Down at the lab they're working still, finishing off 

How do we tell the people in the white coats 

Enough is enough? 

Hey, hey I listen to you pray as if some help will come 

Hey, hey She will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone 

You and I we made no suicide pact - we didn't want to die 

But we watch the wall, little darling, while the chemical trucks go by 

This desperate imitation, now, of innocence 

Those last few days at Jonestown ain't got nothing on this 

Hey, hey I listen to you pray as if some help will come 

Hey, hey She will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone 

Now beneath the fitted carpets, beyond the padded cells 

Within these crimes of passion, the naked truth She dwells 

And this fury's just a part and this thunder's just a part 

Desire is just a part - the cracking ice, the splitting rock 

Hey, hey I listen to you pray as if some help will come 

Hey, hey She will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone 

Hey, hey to the suicide day, the blind man blunders on 

Hey, hey She will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone 

As children learn about the world, we built that wall of sand 

Along the beach we labored hard with our bare hands 

We worked until the sun went down beneath the waves 

And the tide came rolling splashing in, washed the wall away 

How do we tell the people in the white coats 

Enough is enough?
