Pockets Of Pride

There is no Christmas
There's just a kneeling in the sand
Over in the distance
There's phrases of demand

Show us a reason for your peace of mind
Show us a reason to smile
'Cause maybe the past is repeating in front of our eyes
It's out of sight and it's out of time
There's a desert of men with pockets of pride
That are ready to fight

There are no faces
On the women in this place
They're just rolling bandages
For the boys with a job to face

Show us a reason for your peace of mind
Show us a reason to smile
'Cause maybe the past is repeating in front of our eyes
It's out of sight and it's out of time
There's a desert of men with pockets of pride
That are ready to fight

There is no Christmas
There's just a bleeding in the sand
We'll send your brother home today
In a green plastic bag

Show us a reason for your peace of mind
Show us a reason to smile
'Cause maybe the past is repeating in front of our eyes
It's out of sight and it's out of time
There's a desert of men
I said there's a desert of men with pockets of pride
That are ready to fight
