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 |
