Conscience Tells Me No Lyrics

It doesn't matter who you are

It doesn't matter what you do

It doesn't matter what you see

It only matters who you tell

As long as you don't try

To hide the feeling deep inside you

Then conscience tells you no

The pain will never show

Just for the hurt you used to know

And when your conscience tells you no

It tells you

If you can recognise the evil and the bad

Realise when someone's sad

And all that's needed is a hand

You can surely spare the time

As long as you don't try

And hide the feeling deep inside you

Then conscience tells you no

You know it's time to go

The pain I thought would never show

And when your conscience tells you no

It tells you no

Conscience tells you no

And you may govern all the people in this land

But what's it worth if you won't ever understand

Just what it's like to be a child who goes without?

No nice warm clothes or food to feed an empty mouth

And if you try to fool us with your mock concern

We'll make a voodoo doll and stick pins in your eyes

We'll build a wicker man and watch you burn inside
