lyrics

I know you need a little road to run
But I see you looking where they aint got none
You took your debt to the house of plenty
And you laid it at their feet
Don’t waste your breath on the walk of the many
When you wait for their mercy

Live long and don’t forget
The stone around your neck
I understand you’re a noble-to-be
Isolation is a two-way street

I need to know is it enough to go on
And lie awake at night and talk to no one
You put your faith in the cult of money
To produce their own vaccine
What has the prick of the conscience done
To the use of guillotine

Live long and don’t forget
The stone around your neck
I understand you’re a noble-to-be
Isolation is a two-way street
