Preacher man You built your edifice We gave our offering To save our souls And warrior We've gone too far this time We've lost too many things We can't lose ourselves They sing their holy songs We'll sing our songs of war Cos they let our children die Nothing ever comes for free You rejoice and people grieve Something has got to give Do you hear the people cry? Oh nothing ever comes for free You're in charge You do the things you want But that's not enough for you So you took our home Before the vote You promised many things You've not done anything You don't care do you? They sing their holy songs We'll sing our songs of war Cos they let our children die Nothing ever comes for free You rejoice and people grieve Something has got to give Do you hear the people cry? Oh nothing ever comes for free They sing their holy songs We'll sing our songs of war Cos they let our children die Nothing ever comes for free You rejoice and people grieve Something has got to give Do you hear the people cry? Oh nothing ever comes for free
