lyrics

Oh the message is clear,
All you dandy boys go home’
On the whirring backs of savage beasts
And the leaders golden thrones
Oh the message is clear,
‘We don’t want you hanging round’ here no more’
Those angry fools have beat their drums
With war cries that ain’t human born.
And the rains coming down and its flooding out the streets
The rats in the sewers are at full speed now
Joining marches in a 4/4 beat
Every living being; no matter how small or proud
Must rise up to their feet and turn to the ones who’ve tossed you aside
And sing with compassion and heat.

Share on, share on
I won’t quit my mind in times to speak.

Oh the message is clear,
The working class have a war to wage,
On the whirring winds of a cordial sneeze
And heroes drunk on age
I’ve got more than you and you’ve got more than me
Can’t we call it an even score?
There are comedians out there spilling guts on to floors
I’m just trying to find my cellar door.

The pioneers are buried by the sentiments
And the history of ‘the way she goes’
The muses are screaming in a coral static
But the audience is going home
Me? I’m listening with all my twenty-eight ears
Writing songs for them henchmen to fear
When the politicians call a radio silence
I’ll be playing my songs for you here.

Goes like…
Share on, share on
I won’t quit my mind in times to speak.
Share on, share on
I won’t lay my body down for sleep.
Share on, share on
Silent tongues who’ve hid to weep.
Share on, share on
Silent tongues who’ve hid to weep.
