lyrics

Give me gold - teach me greed,
Reap the land then replant the seed,
Tell me stories - feed me fear,
Stage the sorrow - you cry crimson tears,
And your blood, should be our blood,
And their grave should be our grave,
Didn’t mama tell you not to play with the dangerous toys?
Didn’t we plead you not to play with the bigger boys.

I steal my wisdom from the wise who once before me lived,
I steal my freedom from the people who die for it,
So I’m no adequate preacher: no,
I take these lessons from my teachers

And the man whose blood runs thick as oil,
Whose fingers steal from another’s soil,
Uses race as a reason for treason: yes he does
And belief as a justification for a thief.

When he say:
Come with me, I know my fingers are picking at the wants and not the needs.
When he say:
Come with me, I know my lucky life belongs to this side of the sea
When he say:
Come with me, I know the goodhearted can still be found guilty
When he say:
Come with me, I know I gotta rid myself of this dirty greed

One mans wrong is another mans right,
Moral is perception not one mans sight,
So I close my eyes and I use my nose,
To sniff out were the garbage goes.
You can’t believe how “they” hide “they” hoard
All the men that “they” kill in the name of the Lord,
Just like we hide, just like we hoard,
All these mean that we kill on chequered boards.
