Au Pairs - Armagh lyrics

We don't torture, we're a civilized nation<br />

We're avoiding any confontation<br />

We don't torture, we don't torture<br />

American hostages<br />

In Iran<br />

Heard daily on the news<br />

Forget about Vietnam<br />

You can ignore the 32<br />

There are 32 women in Armagh jail<br />

Political prisoners here at home<br />

The British state's got nothing to lose<br />

It's a subject better left alone -<br />

We don't torture<br />

We're a civilized nation<br />

We're avoiding<br />

Any confontation<br />

We don't torture<br />

Alleged crimes withheld information<br />

She gets no sanitation<br />

Dries her shit on her cell wall<br />

Feeling cold and sick<br />

She gets a couple of valium<br />

Now she's relaxed for the next interrogation<br />

Naked spreadeagled on her back<br />

It's a better position for internal examination<br />

It's a better position for giving information<br />

An armed guard squad she gets a beating<br />

Bleeding and wounded she's stopped eating<br />

Has a baby gets nothing for pain they came and took<br />

Her baby away
