about

A song for the victims of corporate greed.

lyrics

High horse

gave me a knife and sent me to a gunfight
cut off both my legs and you told me to run
Sowed my lips together now you want me to sing?
This aint fair
This aint fair
This aint fair
This aint fair
This aint fair
This aint fair

Plucked out both my eyes and asked me what I see
Chained me to the wall and you threw away the key
Now got got the nerve to tell me that I’m free
This aint right
This aint right
This aint right
This aint right
This aint right
This aint right

Hey there mister
Have you heard the news?
There’s lightning in the thunder
and it’s coming after you
You built your castle on the sand
Please tell me how’s the view?
Cos it’s a long way down from that
High horse your’e riding on

Maggies got her farm, the wardens got his jail
Delilahs got her scissors and Jonahs got his whale
You got a three piece suit but my soul it aint for sale
Keep your change
Keep your change
Keep your change
Keep your change
Keep your change
Keep your change

So you want to catch the wind and sell it in a can
You got a saddle for the lightning you got your pyramid plan
Well I hope you got a hose ‘cos it’s about to hit the fan
Step aside
Step aside
Step aside
Step aside
Step aside
Step aside

Hey there mister can you hear the call?
There’s a song coming up and it’s circling your walls
Your Jericho's surrounded get ready for the fall
Cos it’s a long way down from that
High horse your’e riding on

Come stand on 6th and South San Pedro
That trickle down jungle ghetto
With cardboard beds and concrete pillows
Behold your tax cuts for your friends
Like dogs beneath the masters table
You aint willing but you sure seem able
This aint fair, this aint fair, this aint fair
This aint right, this aint right, this aint right
Keep your change, keep your change, keep your change
Step aside, step aside, step aside
