"Cover Up"

Second song from the aborted "Censor This..." project - The Garibaldis' foray into the political, conceived by myself and Steve Wicked mid-2006 whilst working on the Hard Rock Hotel narrative. Plans for the 15-song album were scrapped when the band temporarily split following David Picklesworth's official departure several months later. As of 2013 there are no plans to complete the project.

COVER UP

Cover up

You think it’s right

Whilst out there your brothers and sisters

In battle do fight

Cover up

From head to toe

Religion states that if you don’t

The almighty one will know

Cover up

Ignore the truth

It’s the facts which matter

Right?

Cover up

The newspapers today

Lies are what matter

The victim doesn’t get a say

Falling down a never ending well

Or so the saying goes

I leant my dues through years of pain

Licking Slovakians' toes

Slobodan, Slobodan, Slobodan Milošević

Slobodan, Slobodan, Slobodan Milošević

Slobodan, Slobodan, Slobodan Milošević

Slobodan, Slobodan, Slobodan Milošević

The Yugoslav Wars couldn’t cover up

Hatred, hatred, lies and pain

The Yugoslav Wars couldn’t cover up

Sleet and snow and wind and rain

Cover up, cover up

You think it’s right

Forget about those who

In battle do fight

Cover up, cover up

You think it’s right

Slobodan Milošević

In battle doth fight

The Yugoslav Wars couldn’t cover up

Hatred, hatred, lies and pain

The Yugoslav Wars couldn’t cover up

Sleet and snow and wind and rain

Slobodan, Slobodan, Slobodan Milošević

Slobodan, Slobodan, Slobodan…
