Who do they think they are - Raised Voices
Words: Cynthia Cockburn, Music: Ros Brown;
Arr.: Morag Carmichael

Please note that the first verse is sung in unison to the alto tune

1. Who do they think they are?
These men in suits who posture and proclaim.
Who speak of justice wliile they kill and maim.
And they have the gall to say...
they do it in my name. Who do they think they are?

2. Who do they think they are? cccc
These men in wig and gown who read the laws.
Interpret instrument and code and clause.
So äs to justify... the politicians' wars.
Who do they think they are?

3. Who do they think they are?
These men with their technology of dread.
That grinds the world to dust beneath its tread.
They only count their own... among the toll of dead.
Who do they think they are?

Coda: Lost in their fantasy so far removed from my reality
I long to call them back to sweet humanity
