AUDIO ONLY. Happy Rhodes - Rearmament - 05 - "The Issue Is" (1986)

Lyrics:

The Issue Is

He lies with steel pieces in his arm
He lives by steel, by steel
He's gonna die, and he's scared

She lies with steel pieces in her arm
She lives by steel, by steel
She's gonna die, and she's scared
Oh where is she going to?
And will she see
Mummy?

They lie with steel pieces in their hearts
They breathe by steel, by steel
We're gonna die, and we're scared

The issue is...does conscience survive
We're gonna die, and we're scared
The issue is...does conscience survive
