Lyrics - Armagh by Au Pairs

We don't torture, we're a civilized nation
We're avoiding any confontation
We don't torture, we don't torture
American hostagesin
Iran
Heard daily on the newsforget about
Vietnam
You can ignore the 32
There are 32 women in
Armagh jailpolitical prisoners here at homethe
British state's got nothing to lose
It's a subject better left alone -
We don't torturewe're a civilized nation
We're avoidingany confontation
We don't torture
Alleged crimes withheld information
She gets no sanitationdries her shit on her cell wallfeeling cold and sick
She gets a couple of valium
Now she's relaxed for the next interrogationnaked spreadeagled on her backit's a better position for internal examinationit's a better position for giving information
An armed guard squad she gets a beatingbleeding and wounded she's stopped eatinghas a baby gets nothing for pain they came and tookher baby away
