Civil War Dance lyrics
Song information
Artist: Skyclad Album: Prince Of The Poverty Line
Lyrics
While sons and daughters of the empire Stained the map red, white and blue Back at home the storm clouds thundered Dole queues lengthened - unrest grew 'Til the tides of fresh opinion Washed away the world they knew
Exchange inhuman wrongs for human rights This underdog not only barks - it bites!
Take your partners for our civil war dance Open season on the under worked and overpaid Erase the constitution - a bloody revolution Is the simplest solution to the problems that they have made
Children of the urban third world Breast fed lies and cathode rays Speak their minds down party chat lines (They don't have that much to say) Told nothing of the world we live in Or that it will be theirs someday
This system cultivates our lust and greed With anti-social insecurity
Take your partners for our civil war dance Open season on the under worked and overpaid Erase the constitution - a bloody revolution Is the simplest solution to the problems that they have made
The preacher tells us all that heaven waits So pay your "soul tax" when you reach the gates
Take your partners for our civil war dance Open season on the under worked and overpaid Erase the constitution - a bloody revolution Is the simplest solution to the problems that they have made
Livestock bred to feed the cannon Hands grown hard with honest toil Fuel the fires of mass rebellion Hatred's cauldron starts to boil They fight for something they believe in Not another nation's oil
Britannia cowers in her public school Once too often now she's waived the rules
Take your partners for our civil war dance Open season on the under worked and overpaid Erase the constitution - a bloody revolution Is the simplest solution to the problems that they have made
