Bruce Cockburn Guerilla Betrayed Lyrics

Guerilla Betrayed Lyrics

Ships moving into this cave of cloud

Out of the white light up river

At a certain point you can only die 



High contrast
resolution

Of wet rock and new snow

These bodies remind me

Of
tire marks frozen in the mud 



We thought we could change
something

We helped them win

We changed the slogans

We get
hunted again

When you're the fighter

You're the politicians tool

When you're the fighter

You're everybody's fool 



They move
like bears through city streets

They've got a flag flying over every
factory

I'd like to put a bullet through the world 



Wagon
full of logs with one flat tire

Armed men moving down through the bush

Up river at a certain point you can...

Ships... white light... only
