Stadiums Of The Damned

Steve Hackett

Football Saturday

And our team has won

Looking for a fight

Now the game has just begun



All around our favoured nation

Some beat to a different drum

Carry knives and carry grudges

Drawing blood just for fun



If you stare at me

You will pay the price

Like the master race

We believe that might is right



It's war from the way I see it

Starting with the place you're born

Somewhere there's a light in the distance

Run for cover and keep me warm



Someday soon I'll taste sweet freedom

With a woman like you

I know that I can change



From gaol it's a hard climb upwards

There were others worse than me

I dreamt that an angel told me

Only love can you free



Someday soon I'll taste sweet freedom

With a woman like you

I know that I can change
