See the Hanging Man with his feet above his head
Looks like pretty soon he's gonna be dead
See the Hanging Man with his arms stretched wide
With his eyes open wide, with his mouth open wide
With his ears open wide, with his mind like a weapon by his side
See the Hanging Man with his feet above his head
Looks like he was willing to be led
To the fate that's left him hanging by a thread

See the Hanging Man with his body stretching over the city
With one arm on the Bay Bridge
And the other arm on the Golden Gate Bridge
With one hand bound by the Oakland ghetto
And the other held down by the weight of money
See the Hanging Man with his body stretching over the city
Freeway veins and synapsing streetlights
And his belly deep down in the Mission
And his sex in the thoughts of the many people
And his feet way down in the Silicon Valley
In his heart is human beauty and freedom
On his head is a pyramid crown spike through his brain
All around is the clear blue water

Do you know how it feels, do you know how it feels

To be the Hanging Man, oh moon, to you I sing this song
Listen listen listen listen listen
What are we gonna do, what are we gonna do
About the Hanging Man, heal the Hanging Man
And heal the hanging women and heal the hanging planet
And heal ourselves, watch us heal ourselves and each other
Watch us rise up from the ashes, watch us rise
Oh moon, to you I sing this song
Changing moon reflected on the changing water

One one one one one dollar
Money transactions, records of sales, charities, fashions, licenses, jails
Profit, armies, police, profit

Iron mines, steel mills, unions, paperwork
Trucks and trains, transportation of material
Making of machines, making parts for machines making
Cash registers
Cash registers, cash registers
Cash registers, cash registers

Girls in the bureau looking at time-clock cards
Making up paychecks, accounting the time used up
In filling and emptying, filling and emptying
Cash registers
Cash registers, cash registers
Cash registers, cash registers

Oil-drilling off the coast of Northern California
Skyscrapers designed without opening windows
Cows in the dairy losing their newborn children
Murder

And the mints, and the miners, and the makers of money
And the whole world of finance
Girls who work in sterilized offices whose breasts are covered
Boys who tie their throats and drown martinis
And the books written for money and the songs written for money 
And the music played for money and the pictures painted for money
And the houses built for money and the food prepared for money
And the animals raised for money and the wars fought for money
And the lives lived for money and the lives lived for money

And when the money goes, so does the state
And when the money goes, so does the state
And when the money goes, so does
The state exists to protect the money
