Never Be Safe (LP Version)

about

Taken from the forthcoming second Mailman album 'Yang Yin'.

A humanitarian crisis has been unfolding in Syria for years. There are desperate people in Aleppo and countless places throughout the war ravaged country that need all the help they can get.

Syria Relief is running an ongoing appeal to raise essential funds that they then use to get food, blankets and fuel for cooking and heating homes directly to people who need it. More info can be found here: www.syriarelief.org.uk

If you'd like to help, you can donate via this Just Giving page: www.justgiving.com/Mailman4Syria In return you will receive a copy of the four track Mailman EP "The Karma Sessions: Vol 2", released exclusively on Bandcamp in December 2015.

Alternatively, you can buy it on here and I will donate the money for you.

Here is a video of me performing a version of the lead track 'Never Be Safe' on current affairs show 'Going Underground': youtu.be/wCj8zBV5W2s?t=2m12s

Thank you for taking the time to visit this page and please consider making a potentially lifesaving donation.

Love & light,

lyrics

NEVER BE SAFE
-----------------------
They crawled from the depths of South London
The venue for making their stand
On behalf of the 'state' and those preachers of hate
And some far away terrorised lands
Grabbed a soldier and unarmed civilian
With crackpot machetes in hand
They hacked off his head, turned the newspapers red
Hoped the camera crews would understand:
“You people will never be safe”

He’d joined up to fight for his country
Like all of his comrades before
Thought they’d fight the good fight, maybe put something right
Maybe finally settle the score
'Cause they’d watched them all die in the towers
And quickly replaced what they saw
With the pounding of drums from The Mail and The Sun
Took the guns in their hands and they swore:
“You people will never be safe”

But we went for the oil and the contracts
The billionaire spoils of war
While the public were sold that great fable of old:
“Our humanity’s what it’s all for!”
Then they fire bombed all of Fallujah
With white phosphorous shells that were banned
Leaving paralysed ladies with two headed babies
The mission accomplished as planned:
“You people will never be safe”

In the history of our evolution
For 100K years of no war
There was peace and prosperity, love and serenity
Nobody wanted for more
It's just a handful since ‘civilisation’
Colonial games in disguise
All the while we reside with these demons inside us
The hatred, the fear and the lies
We people will never be safe

CHORUS: (x4)
An eye for an eye makes the whole world turn blind
Only love and forgiveness can save humankind
With evil extremists on all sides between us
We people will never be safe
