Pharaoh |
Pharaoh he sits in his tower of steel |
The dogs of money all at his heel |
Magicians cry, Oh Truth! |
Oh Real |
We’re all working for the Pharaoh |
A thousand eyes, a thousand ears |
He feeds us all, he feeds our fears |
Don’t stir in your sleep tonight, my dears |
We’re all working for the Pharaoh |
Egypt Land, Egypt Land |
We’re all living in Egypt land |
Tell me, brother, don’t you understand |
We’re all working for the Pharaoh |
Hidden from the eye of chance |
The men of shadow dance a dance |
And we’re all struck into a trance |
We’re all working for the Pharaoh |
Idols rise into the sky |
Pyramids soar, Sphinxes lie |
Head of dog, Osiris eye |
We’re all working for the Pharaoh |
Egypt Land, Egypt Land |
We’re all living in Egypt land |
Tell me, brother, don’t you understand |
We’re all working for the Pharaoh |
I dig a ditch, I shape a stone |
Another battlement for his throne |
Another day on earth is flown |
We’re all working for the Pharaoh |
Call it England, call it Spain |
Egypt rules with the whip and chain |
Moses free my people again |
We’re all working for the Pharaoh |
Egypt Land, Egypt Land |
We’re all living in Egypt land |
Tell me, brother, don’t you understand |
We’re all working for the Pharaoh |
Pharaoh he sits in his tower of steel |
Around his feet the princes kneel |
Far beneath we shoulder the wheel |
We’re all working for the Pharaoh |
