Lyrics:
The government has ordered, and the Queen she gives command.
And I am bound on oath, my love, to serve in a foreign land.
Oh, but I'll cut off my yellow hair,
The government has ordered, and the Queen she gives command.
And I am bound on oath, my love, to serve in a foreign land.
Oh, but I'll cut off my yellow hair,
in an air-conditioned office on the other side of town sat a government official with a frown
'Cause he'd been trying for so long to find land to build
He had to bring his family income
Worked as teller in a bank
Now listen to his own words and
Tell me what you think:
"I've spent a lot of time
Reading
in the garden and
helping pick the cotton and the corn
Then came the time of the Mississippi floods and all
of his work went down the drain
The land
on his way
Then he banks and turns, does a kamikaze dive
Into the heart of the twin sister tower
Now that look of disbelief has
Turned to horror and grief
I used to work for Harvester
I used to use my hands
I used to make the tractors and the combines that plowed and harvested
This great land
Now I
the government think they own us
My onus is to keep the police from ridin' all up on us
Leavin' money to kids who spend it on getting' blitz
Say, what's
meeting, huh?
The issue on the table, Secretary Hamilton's plan to assume state debt and establish a national bank
Secretary Jefferson, you have
permission to put
Humans in this condition
"This land is whose land?"
They must've forgot
Kickin' the black in the ass
While keeping the brown out
This one
The government has ordered, and the Queen she gives command.
And I am bound on oath, my love, to serve in a foreign land.
Oh, but I'll cut off my yellow hair,
more trees
Need more trees so we can breathe
We, We need more trees
Need more trees so we can breathe
Government man came to rob
Took my land and stole
for many a weary mile
To join the British Army on the banks of the Nile
O Willie, dearest William, don't leave me here to mourn
For I must curse
, corporation, bank and regulator.
Huawei will not land juicy government contracts cos half its board of directors used to work for the government.
HS2 will not
People of the world
Attention, this is an urgent message
There is a virus
A deadly virus sweeping the land
Do not fear
Trust your Government
Do not
trust some of those as how I trust her
Such is life, dem say ah just her
I see Cassia Heights weh dem call di squater land
Some sey fi government, some
vain
My job is oppressive, I strive for my blessings
The pastor so corrupt it's hard to ride with his message
Riches destroy the owners, the government
I was striding through LoserLand
Just the other day
Funny thing about LoserLand
Ya don't gotta work to make your government pay
cnyone can play
trust some of those as how I trust her
Such is life, dem say ah just her
I see Cassia Heights weh dem call di squater land
Some sey fi government, some
me
Because I'm living in a land of no safety
Me government and the police against me
And better water no dey
Money no dey
Not even what to cook
will not be paid millions to lobby governments to grant special favours to Facebook
There will be no revolving door between government, corporation, bank
the same studio that they land on The moon
Like that was fake too
You know once upon a time witches Flew on a broom
In Massachusetts
Burned alive on a stoop
The violations and injustices against them
Abhorrent actions by their government
The FBI, Military and The Vigilantes
On a cold-blooded, red skinned hunt
Three
Because the bank robber man
He don't give a damn
He steals all the loot to buy a new suit
I said he starts work at nine
He's always on time
My reason
