Artist/Band: Bruce Cockburn
Lyrics for Song: Guerrilla Betrayed
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Bruce Cockburn



Ships moving into this cave of cloud


Out of the white light up river


At a certain point you can only die





High contrast resolution


Of wet rock and new snow


These bodies remind me


Of tire marks frozen in the mud





We thought we could change something


We helped them win


We changed the slogans


We get hunted again


When you're the fighter


You're the politicians tool


When you're the fighter


You're everybody's fool





They move like bears through city streets


They've got a flag flying over every factory


I'd like to put a bullet through the world





Wagon full of logs with one flat tire


Armed men moving down through the bush


Up river at a certain point you can


Ships, white light, only
