For too long cast aside, stripped of dignity, opportunity
|
Countless sleepless days in underestimation
|
But under these anxious, darkening leaves
|
No word goes unheard
|
And no deed is without compensation
|
When the workers come to collect their wages
|
Now the straw men are swaying in the distance
|
The have-nots calling in the listless wind
|
Whispering for retribution
|
Waiting for some voice to call them
|
From the bottom where you left them
|
So onward friends from our battered homes
|
Forward to the onrush of cast stones, crushed bones
|
And the gallows
|
