Skyclad

Civil War Dance

Skyclad


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.
