We don't torture, we're a civilized nation
We're avoiding any confontation
We don't torture, we don't torture
We don't torture, we don't torture
American hostages in Iran
Heard daily on the news
forget about Vietnam
You can ignore the 32
There are 32 women in Armagh jail
political prisoners here at home
the British state's got nothing to lose
It's a subject better left alone
We don't torture, we're a civilized nation
We're avoiding any confontation
We don't torture, we don't torture
Alleged crimes withheld information
She gets no sanitation
She dries her shit on her cell wall
feeling cold and sick
She gets a couple of valium
Now she's relaxed for the next interrogation
naked spreadeagled on her back
it's a better position for internal examination
it's a better position for giving information
We don't torture, we're a civilized nation
We're avoiding any confontation
We don't torture, we don't torture
An armed guard squad she gets a beating
bleeding and wounded she's stopped eating
has a baby gets nothing for pain
they came and took her baby away
We don't torture, we're a civilized nation
We're avoiding any confontation
We don't torture, we don't torture
We don't torture, we're a civilized nation
We're avoiding any confontation
We don't torture, we don't torture
We don't torture, we don't torture
We're avoiding any confontation
We don't torture, we don't torture
We don't torture, we don't torture
