Some Velvet Morning – Godless lyrics

I try to tear myself away,
I'm gripped by the news.
I've heard it said in times of war the first to die is the truth.

I'm damned if I know the answer,
I need one today,
I'm damned if I know the answer,
So godless I wait.

Shame upon the wounded soul,
Who finds his voice in the guns.
Shame on you who use this fear,
A plague upon your sons.

I'm damned if I know the answer,
I need one today,
I'm damned if I know the answer,
So godless I wait.

I try to tear myself away,
I'm gripped by the news,
The lines are drawn, the wars go on, Christian, Muslim and Jews...

I'm damned if I know the answer,
We need one today,
I'm damned if I know the answer,
So godless I wait.
