Roy Harper - The War Came Home Tonight lyrics

The war came home tonight

Set alight by satellite

Drenched in tracer bullet bright

Left right left right

The newsmen stir their appetite

Camera zooming every goof

Shooting ratings bullet proof

Desperate to generate

A crisis to manipulate

You'll wonder where the country went

In the target rich environment

Left right left right

The corner of the room's alight

With images of pure uptight

To keep the voyeurs glued all night

You'll wonder...

Whose side dog is on

In the golden age of weapon

Wrong right wrong right

Death comes cruising through in spite

To give cold martyrs back their sight

As like as if this black was white

'Dark star' bombs will feed us

With bulletproof newsreaders

Read all about it - next

Turn to the tv - text

Left right left right

The war came home tonight

Set alight by satellite etc
