Conscience Tells Me No Lyrics

It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter what you do
It doesn't matter what you see
It only matters who you tell
As long as you don't try
To hide the feeling deep inside you

Then conscience tells you no
The pain will never show
Just for the hurt you used to know
And when your conscience tells you no
It tells you

If you can recognise the evil and the bad
Realise when someone's sad
And all that's needed is a hand
You can surely spare the time
As long as you don't try
And hide the feeling deep inside you

Then conscience tells you no You know it's time to go
The pain I thought would never show
And when your conscience tells you no
It tells you no

Conscience tells you no

And you may govern all the people in this land
But what's it worth if you won't ever understand
Just what it's like to be a child who goes without?
No nice warm clothes or food to feed an empty mouth

And if you try to fool us with your mock concern
We'll make a voodoo doll and stick pins in your eyes
We'll build a wicker man and watch you burn inside
