Turncoat Rebellion

Drawers of water - hewers of wood, Biting their tonques as if they know what's good for them. Floating voters perched high upon fences in flame. Charmed by pipes - drugged with ale, Simple minds - born to fail, Father please tell a tale of turncoat rebellion. Watch us quietly disappear at the call for volunteers. Eager to please - keep your noses to the grindstone. Eager to please - your shoulders to the wheel. Tuggers of forelocks - doffers of caps, Blinded by greed they stepped into the traps laid for them. Given a video - satellite dish, National Lottery - Saturday wish, Simple lives - tropical fish in habitat aquaria. Mad as hell but afraid to speak, Our thin red line is a yellow streak. Eager to please - keep your backs to the plough. Eager to please - as we grow so we weep. Charmed by pipes - drugged with ale, Simple minds - born to fail, Father please tell a tale of Turncoat Rebellion. --- Turncoat Rebellion - Skyclad
