Was it You? (7" Version) Lyrics

The bullets and the hatred, was it you?
The famine and the genital disease, was it you?
I don't really know what I can see but I can see I'm losing control

The K.G.B. and the C.I.A., was it you?
Democracy and freedom, was it you?
I don't really know what I can see but I can see I'm losing control

Was it you?

Coloured skins and nations, was it you?
Aristrocracy and class division, was it you?
I don't really know what I can see but I can see I'm losing control

Was it you?

Meat and vegetables, was it you?
Drugs and religion, was it you?
I don't really know what I can see but I can see I'm losing control

Was it you?

Was it you?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
