PJ Harvey A Line in the Sand Lyrics

How to stop the murdering, by now we should have learned
If we don't then we're a sham, bad overwhelms the good
Bad overwhelms the good
Oh oh-oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh oh oh oh oh
What I've seen, yes it's changed how I see humankind
I used to think progress was made, we could get something right
We could get something right
horus 1
Enough is enough, a line in the sand
Seven or eight thousand people killed by hand
They stepped off the edge, they did not step back
If we have not learned by now, then we're a sham
When we first got to the camp, supplies were not enough
I saw a displaced family eating a cold horse's hoof
Oh a cold horse's hoof
Oh oh-oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh oh oh oh oh
We sent up tents, brought in water, air drops were dispersed
But I saw people kill each other just to get there first
Oh just to get there first
horus 2
Enough is enough, a line in the sand
Seven or eight thousand people killed by hand
They stepped off the edge, they did not step back
If we have not learned by now, then we're a sham
What we did, why we did it, I make no excuse
We got things wrong but I believe we also did some good
What we did, why we did it, I make no excuse
I believe we have a future to do something good
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh-oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
