|
Sham |
|
Yeah, you can call me that |
|
As I walk with the Luddites and my crusty axe |
|
I'm a whole lot removed from the Domini Pax |
|
The pacts with the church and the new poll tax |
|
I haven't got the pox, I've turned twenty-eight |
|
My mate's thirty-one but he's dying from the plague |
|
Life's a bitch right now and I can still hear the hills |
|
Resonate |
|
Watch my carbon vibrate mate |
|
And I'm way down the mine |
|
In another lifetime |
|
But I don't how this canary keeps chirping |
|
And my lungs are tight |
|
When you've got to keep working |
|
What's the point in life |
|
There's a hundred miners here in the union |
|
March through the manor while the owner takes communion |
|
I'm going in to get my wage for last year |
|
Plus a big bag of food |
|
One of them big chandeliers |
|
I affect the state and affect the earth |
|
And pass my spirit on again |
|
Until it's triggered by a birth |
|
I resonate |
|
You Resonate |
|
I say echo |
|
You vibrate |
|
I'm in this for a better life |
|
Staying clever |
|
Got the soldiers on the hop |
|
Slept in the oak tree |
|
Raided a crop |
|
They probably think I'm catholic |
|
'Cause of my name |
|
I caught the King's deer |
|
They were giving me fame |
|
And they heard about my antics |
|
Up at the castle |
|
When I didn't pay my taxes |
|
Down came the hassle |
|
They burnt my village and my family at the stake |
|
I felt the whole ground shake |
|
Why? |
|
'Cause spirits resonate |
|
They want my pagan head |
|
Turn the hunters in my band and that's as good as it gets |
|
We affect |
|
You affect |
|
Everybody move your molecules |
|
From your nails to your follicles |
|
Vibrate |
|
It's eighteen fifty-six |
|
I'm at the workhouse with my bundle of sticks |
|
These people think I'm nuts |
|
But they won't complain |
|
When their lives get better cause of my campaign |
|
Sabotage man with the Guy Fawkes precedent |
|
Burn the city hall - smoke out the residents |
|
Make a mark in my town and adjust my standard of living |
|
Till my pitchfork rusts |
|
Change the chain |
|
Unchain all hands |
|
Latter-day Scargill |
|
I'll affect this land |
|
I come in peace |
|
From a small piece of dark |
|
And I'm going back soon |
|
So for now I'll make marks |
|
Vibrate |
