Clerkenwell Polka |
| I request, that the best of our minds |
| Be impressed to repent of their crimes |
| For the truth, is there all for to see |
| What can be said in defense of man’s tyranny? |
| To declare, too content of the view |
| That to conform to the norm is what you do |
| If you live wracked in anger and in shame |
| The only road you’ll finds that hard road my friend |
| I concur, to defer, to the sound |
| Of discontent when it’s meant by the crowd |
| If in fairness is how you see it end |
| The only road you’ll walk’s that hard road my friend |
| And the papers they were printing, they did sell |
| In Clerkenwell, there were presses turning |
| And the emigrates they boarded ships and sailed |
| They could not fail to bring passions burning |
| Why deny that the lie that is sent |
| Makes you live work and die for some rent |
| If you’re happy then to leave it up to them |
| The only road you’ll knows that hard road my friend |
| We resent the intent of the few |
| Who do conspire, to acquire, what’s our due |
| If you don’t know your rights, and defend |
| The only road you’ll goes that hard road my friend |
| If you fall and you crawl towards debt |
| And the sum, it is more than what was leant |
| If you can’t keep your eyes on the change |
| The only road you’ll walk’s that bloody road my friend |
