lyrics

Never safe. Words and music by Gillie McPherson

We've barricaded our street and we have locked ourselves well in.
There's anger in the air, you hear them rattling the bins.
The rebels they are out there, looking for their foe.
It doesn't matter where you are, you're never safe at home.


Never safe ,
Never safe,
Never safe, you’re never safe at home


There's panic in our street and the cops are overhead.
We pushed the fridge against the door and then our double bed.
A rebel’s soul is not his own when he's lashing at your door
And a rifle only serves to spill blood upon the floor.


Upon the floor,
Upon the floor,
Upon the floor, blood upon the floor.



There's trouble up the “Falls” and down the “Sandy Row.”
Each one has their point of view, solutions high and low.
It's all in the education and the culture is to blame.
Wherever we make war we’ll never see a change.
