Madam Medusa - UB40

From the land of shadows

Comes a dreadful sight

Lady with the marble smile

Spirit of the night

See the scourge of innocence

Swinging in her hand

Hear the silent suffering

That echoes through the land

From the tombs of ignorance

Of hate and greed and lies

Through the smoke of sacrifice

Watch her figure rise

The sick the poor the old

Basking in her radiance

Men of blood and gold

In her bloody footsteps

Speculators prance

Men of dreams are praying

For that second chance

Round her vacant features

Gilded serpents dance

Her tree of evil knowledge

Sprouts a special branch

Madam medusa

Madam medusa

Madam medusa

Knock her right down

And then she bounce right back

Knock her right down

And then she bounce right back

She gone off her head

We’ve got to shoot her dead

She gone off her head

We’ve got to shoot her dead

Run for your life before she eat you alive

Run for your life before she eat you alive

Move out of the way cos’s you’re blocking out the day

Move out of the way cos’s you’re blocking out the day
