Drawers of water
Hewers of wood
Biting their tongues as if
They know what's good for them
Floating voters perched high
Upon fences in flame
Charmed by pipes
Drugged with ale
Simple minds
Born to fail
Father please tell a tale
Of turncoat rebellion
Watch us quietly disappear
At the call for volunteers
Eager to please
Keep your noses to the grindstone
Eager to please
Your shoulders to the wheel
Tuggers of forelocks
Doffers of caps
Blinded by greed they stepped
Into the traps laid for them
Given a video, satellite dish
National lottery, Saturday wish
Simple lives, tropical fish
In habitat aquaria
Mad as hell
But afraid to speak
Our thin red line
Is a yellow streak
Eager to please
Keep your backs to the plow
Eager to please
As we grow so we weep
Charmed by pipes
Drugged with ale
Simple minds
Born to fail
Father please tell a tale
Of turncoat rebellion
Father please tell a tale
Of turncoat rebellion
Father please tell a tale
Of turncoat rebellion
