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
