We were talking earlier in an interview about
how we've had to apologize for this song ever
since
September the 11th.
Largely because I wrote it in
June 2001.
Actually no, that's not largely
why.
It's largely because it talks about,
ah, the things it talks about.
It's called
In
The
Face
Of
All
Of
This.
Where there's an aircraft down,
there'll be casualties from some
Eng lish town
There's always an
African war leading to one vote,
once, once more
Ah, in the face of all of this,
what troubles do you and I persist?
I'm the face of all of this
Trouble in
Afghanistan
Down in
Afghanistan they kill
A woman dressed like a man
The city is under mud
But it's okay,
there's no television blood
I'm the face of all of this
What troubles do you
and I persist?
I'm the face of all of this
Our troubles are easy to resist
Are these the
Chinese?
Doing exactly what they please
And it's all is climbing high
I am the face of all of this,
what troubles do you and I persist?
I, in the face of all of this
Our troubles are easy to resist
I, in the face of all of this
What troubles do you
and I possess?
I, in the face of all of this
Our troubles are easy to resist
I'm the face of all of this
What troubles do you and I possess?
I'm the face of all of this
Troubles I'll now put
Troubles I'll now put
Troubles I'll now put away
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
