What drives a man to dying to defend;

a government that never listened to a single word he said.

And when there isn't any threat - does he question their intent?

Well, he's just a victim, and you're a witness,

An accessory to the crown.

Taught not to question; independence is a threat.

And there's no room for hesitation when the orders have been sent.

He wears an emblem on his chest, does he know what it represents?

He's just a victim, and you're a witness,

An accessory to the crown.

And do the spin doctors expect us to really just accept

all the lies that they invent?

Well, he's just a victim, and you're a witness,

An accessory to the crown.

Well my defiance is so easy to condemn,

my point of view so cynical so simple to forget.

And when these men are lying dead;

will you spare a thought for them, oh do you really fuckin care?
