Requiem for the Man
Sweet Crude Bill

Here lies a man Who does not rest in peace He spent his whole life Dragging people down on their knees He turned away the grace God gave Took his sister and brother as slaves With fear he kept them in chains Only for his soul to save Now none do fear As he is laid in his grave Here lies a man Who took everything he saw Do what you will Was the whole of his law He lived in a tower of stone And there he lived all alone Took the children out of their homes And he ruled the world by telephone Now no one sheds a tear As they bury his old grey bones Here lies a man Who likened himself to a god He chose who lived or died Now he goes down under the sod What will he see down there Will he disappear into thin air Is he born again new and fair Or does he live on in some nightmare Will he tumble down to hell And cry out in despair Power is a dream And some men don't sleep so well Some men shake and moan When they hear that graveyard bell Now all the children gather 'round As he is laid in the ground And they pray for his soul to be found And not in hell to be bound But the man cannot hear He cannot hear a sound
