Short Cut Draw Blood - Jim Capaldi

Well you can build all the buildings that you want in this world till a man

can’t see a thing

Keep on spraying the crops with your suicide juice till the birds no longer sing

Speed up the production on your automobiles and make the profit that the labor

brings

But I’m telling you that short cut gonna draw blood

Yes I’m telling you that short cut gonna draw blood

And you’re gonna get your face pushed in the mud

Well you can build all the airplanes and the bombs that you want but you know

that it don’t scare me

Build a brick wall around your entire population then try and tell 'em that

they’re free

You can keep on drilling for your precious oil until you’ve even messed up the

sea

But I’m telling you that short cut gonna draw blood

Yes I’m telling you that short cut gonna draw blood

And you’re gonna get your face pushed in the mud

Well you been wheeling and dealing like a man with ten arms just to keep your

out of style plan

You been putting out pressures squeezing the Earth like a snake with an iron

hand

You’d like to kill off every indian in the jungle that’s living and take away

his land

But I’m telling you that short cut gonna draw blood

Yes I’m telling you that short cut gonna draw blood

And you’re gonna get your face pushed in the mud… mud

Well you keep on spewing out your dirt and your filth till the air begins to

choke

Keep on playing the stupid games with your dagger and your cloak

But you won’t get me working in your factory because I’ve thrown away the yoke

And I’m telling you that short cut gonna draw blood

Yes I’m telling you that short cut gonna draw blood, yes it will

And you’re gonna get your face pushed in the mud… mud!

Short cut draw blood!

Short cut draw blood!

Short cut draw blood!

Short cut draw blood!
