Peasant (Spoken)

A ghoul sits on a stool and makes a rule fit for a fool And so a tool cruelly makes off with your gold Proud 'cause he's allowed, legally endowed wrapped in a shroud You bowed and thanked him loudly for his cold shoulder A sheep asleep so deep You keep doing as you're told After all it's such a ball to be so utterly controlled By forces you can't see who whisper it's your luxury To be another in some bigger brother's stranglehold And it's hard to be a king in the clothing of a peasant Hard to see the future and be shackled in the present Hard to be so clear when everything else so clearly isn't Oh Lord grant me safer passage Oh Lord grant me safer passage A pig, he takes a swig, he digs a fig and snaps a twig He's a bigwig on his rig and don't forget it You cry and think to lie but it's his sty Why even try when you can spy it in his eye you're going to get it? At 9 you wait in line to pay the fine and brave the swine Because the crime is the design's designed against you It's true it's revenue, the royal screw no matter what you do This crew don't give a damn if they've incensed you Hell they laugh because they've already dispensed with you And it's hard to be a king in the clothing of a peasant Hard to see the future and be shackled in the present Hard to be so clear when everything else so clearly isn't Oh Lord grant me safer passage Oh Lord grant me safer passage What else is there to say about the M-E-D-I-A and the realities at play on television? Of course we disagree but why can't everybody see That the obvious decree here is division? Everyone I know's at odds An embarrassment of false gods with celebrity and gossip now religion This fake two party system just a twisted mechanism That tricks us into thinking we're assisting a decision And it's hard to be a king in the clothing of a peasant It's hard to see the future and be shackled in the present Hard to be so clear when everything else so clearly isn't Oh Lord grant me safer passage Oh Lord grant me safer passage Oh Lord grant me safer passage Oh Lord grant me safer passage
