[Verse 1]
Am
There's a sentry in a uniform
E
To watch the VIPs along the wall
Am
Strategical discussions taking place
E
Behind the steel plated wall
Dm
The agents issue the statements
Bb
To the waiting press who circulate the words
Am
Justification propaganda
E
Western foreign policy across the world
[Chorus]
Dm
In the name of the people
C
All of this done
Dm
In the name of the people
C
All of this done
[Verse 2]
They read their books and study hard
Cigarettes lit in the claustrophobic gloom
West of the University Road
The world outside is ghost-like in the room
Frustrated and impatient and
Intelligence sharp and twisted like a child
Death is an aphrodiasiac now
The fuses on the table slowly wired
[Chorus]
In the name of the people...
[Special]
Am Bb Dm (Bb)
Hold me tight, hold me fast
Am Bb
Standing here on the wrong side
Dm (Bb)
Of this bullet-proof glass
Am B Em
There are no questions left for us to ask
[Verse 3]
It's soldiers' night at the discotheque
Pick up a girl and drink to home afar
Spending money like water
On the watered drinks available at the bar
The ones who never were given much
Never asked much of anything in recall
But there's a black bag in the corner
And it doesn't belong to anyone here at all
[Chorus]
In the name of the people...
