Well, you say it's such a small, small world

flying Club Class back from the far-east

curled up safe and warm in the big chair

you were drifting through the skies of anywhere

Get the courtesy car to the Sheraton

there's live on-the-spot reports on the CNN between the ad-breaks

so you think you know what's going on - but you don't

because you weren't in Belfast, no you weren't there

and no you weren't in Waco, no you weren't there

and you weren't in Kosovo, you weren't there

and you weren't in my head so you don't know how it felt

walking arm in arm with crowds to the square

and the banners waving and the sun glinting

All this information swims round and round

like a shoal of fish in a tank going nowhere

Up and down between the glass walls

You're so safe in the knowledge they're impenetrable

and you look out at the world and see nothing at all

so go back to sleep and you'll be woken when the time comes

and you'll never know just what hit you or where it came from

because you weren't in Bradford, no you weren't there

and you weren't on the hill, no you weren't there

and you weren't with us so you never saw

just what happened when the television crews came knocking on the door

how the people told them all to go to Hell,

smashed the cameras and sent them away

There were sirens going off and policemen coming in

and all that you love was being swept away

in the rush of a black tide all done in your name

and you'll never know just what happened there

or how it feels - just how it feels . . .

I'm not sure he's really glorifying Waco as such (it surely wouldn't be a part of the NMA ethos). rather Justin has always written lyrics which treat his topics with ambivalence and perspectives that are less than one-sided. Considering everything, there died a lot of people at Waco, among them many children. There is also of course the basic lesson to be suspicious of the media as they rarely sum up the complexities of situations. If you weren't in waco you don't know. Something like that?

I don't know what happened in Bradford nor up in the hill, and I wouldn't praise Waco's fighters, but what is for certain is that people living the Good Life have a very partial understanding of reality, and it may strike them from an angle away from their view.

you would have struggled to find a picture more unrelated than the one you used.

Justin I have been a fan for 25 years and total respect your artistry. However, I am less inclined to be romantic about Waco. These people were less than innocent. Far from being a sect of Christian Quakers, in fact they worshiped a man that presented himself as God, the worst form of deceit that tempts a man. I hate that some that were innocent died but these are the "wages" and the natural conclusion to the lies they put their trust in.

This song reminds me of the time I realised the world was basically an awful place. Coincidentally, I was around 15. COINCIDENTALLY:
