Armagh Letra

We don't torture

American hostages in Iran
Heard daily on the news
Forget about Vietnam
You can ignore the 32
There are 32 women in Armagh jail
Political prisoners here at home
The British state's got nothing to lose
It's a subject better left alone

We don't torture we're a civilised nation
We're avoiding any confrontation
We don't torture
We don't torture

Alleged crimes withheld information
She gets no sanitation
Dries her shit on her cell wall
Feeling cold and sick
She gets a couple of valium
Now she's relaxed for the next interrogation
Naked spread-eagled on her back
It's a better position for an internal examination
It's a better position for giving information

We don't torture
We don't torture

An armed guard squad she gets a beating
Bleeding and wounded she's stopped eating
Has a baby gets nothing for pain they came and took her baby away

We don't torture we're a civilised nation
We're avoiding any confrontation
We don't torture
We don't torture

We don't torture we're a civilised nation
We're avoiding any confrontation
We don't torture
We don't torture
We don't torture
