Lyrics The Olde Trip To Jerusalem - Mekons

The Olde Trip To Jerusalem

The seed of the devil lives on in men
Verses 4,5,6 chapters 8,9,10
The Landlords and the ranters with their foot on your neck
Oh I love the Union and Glory Hallelujah!
Line of the woman
Rising over reason
Out of the slaughter
Over & over
Through the eye of the needle
The width of a circle
They’ll be building up the temple
On the backs of the people
Sign of the profit
Oh I love the Union and Glory Hallelujah!
All that march through history must still mean something to you
Roar reason roar in power again
They’ll be selling out the women like they sold out the men
Heart of the Lion
The plunder & the killing
Over & over
We just tried to stay sober
The sword is sharp the arrows swift the witnesses all seeking
So shake & shake for all your worth from Innocence to Experience
The Queen of Holland went to meet Red Ken
With the Ranters and the Quakers and the Fabians
William Blake, William Morris, Tony Benn
The Levellers and the Diggers and the Muggletonians
