How could you
beat your woman
âtill you see tears
Got your children
living in fear, mmm...
How you gonna wash the
blood from your hands
Selling debt to fiends
Barely fifteens
So you can wrap round
pushing the whip
of your dreams
Tell me, how you gonna
wash the blood
from your hands
You claim youâre
doing Godâs work
Greet the family
with a smile
When all the while
You been raping that child
You a priest but
you still canât
Wash the blood
from your hands
The self hate they
create in your hair
Got you pickinâ up their
weapons and leaving
your brothers there
Tell me, how you gonna
wash the blood
from your hands
I wonder what you gonna do
When he comes for you
Where you gonna run
Once he calls for you
Where you gonna hide
The day he sends for you
And he questions you
I wonder what
youâre gonna say
When that day comes
When judgement day comes
Iâm talking about the
sins you commit
Giving orders that permit
killing innocent kids so
you can fill your pockets
Tell me how you gonna
wash the blood
from your hands
Now take a look at
these project buildings
They got us living in
Itâs like weâre raised
in prison âcos of the
colour of our skin
How you gonna wash the
blood from your hands
The pharmaceutical
industry need to get paid
Theyâre sitting on a cure
Watching new born
babies die of AIDS
Tell me how you gonna
wash the blood
from your hands
How could you keep
exploiting third world children
Using them as
underpaid slaves so you
can make your millions
How you gonna wash the
blood from your hands
I wonder what you gonna do
When he comes for you
Where you gonna run
Once he calls for you
Where you gonna hide
The day he sends for you
And he questions you
I wonder what
youâre gonna say
When that day comes
When judgement day comes
We sit and watch
why people get hurt
Stand to say nothing when
they do the devilâs work
Walk straight by, leave
them crying in the dirt
What kind of people
does that make me or you
And we could have
all the good intent
But we sitting in silence
We committing
greed and violence
Then we got blood
on our hands too
I wonder what you gonna do
When he comes for you
Where you gonna run
Once he calls for you
Where you gonna hide
The day he sends for you
And he questions you
I wonder what
youâre gonna say
When that day comes
When judgement day comes
