about
Simple observations of how the ruling class brought the working class back to heel.
lyrics
I saw servants align with their masters, I saw innocence, blind to the bastards,
I saw power sell servitude back to the slave.
Saw humanity ground into dust, while the money men whipped up a frenzy of lust,
For a fantasy history crafted, rewritten, betrayed.
And when the time came you ran to their sides and helped them to tighten your chains.
And armed with an ignorance, willingly bought, you sang with your master’s refrains.
You grasped at a dream that someone else dreamt, in the cold light of day you dream still.
I hope that your children will learn to forgive you, I don’t think that I ever will.
I saw age clip the wings of the young, generations of progress undone,
Watched as lies drove a wedge between father and son.
Isolation, reject all alliance, hope that your misdirected defiance,
Brings you hope when you finally see what you’ve done.
And when the time came you ran to their sides and helped them to tighten your chains.
And armed with an ignorance, willingly bought, you sang with your master’s refrains.
You grasped at a dream that someone else dreamt, in the cold light of day you dream still.
I hope that your children will learn to forgive you, I don’t think that I ever will.
And when the time came you ran to their sides and helped them to tighten your chains.
And armed with an ignorance, willingly bought, you sang with your master’s refrains.
You grasped at a dream that someone else dreamt, in the cold light of day you dream still.
I hope that your children will learn to forgive you, I don’t think that I ever will.
Cos you swallowed their lies and you choked down their spin, closed your eyes, closed your minds and you threw your hand in,
Now you've bought the idea that you're different somehow, they've a handful of beans for a trade with your cow.
And you gave away all that your fathers had won from the cold, grasping hands that now leave you undone.
From 'we hold all the cards' to 'it wont be that bad', just how long will it take til you see you were had?
