Pharaoh Songtext
von June Tabor

Pharaoh he sits in his tower of steel
The dogs of money all at his heels
Magicians cry hold truth or reel
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, my dears
We′re all working for the pharaoh
And it's 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 man of shadow dance a dance
And we are struck into a trance
We're all working for the pharaoh
Idols rise into the sky
Pyramids soar, sphinxs lie
Head of dog, Osiris eye
We′re all working for the pharaoh


And it's 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
Today I dig, I shape the stone
Another battlement for his throne
Another day on earth has flown
We're all working for the pharaoh
You call it England, you call it Spain
Egypt rules with a whip and chain
Moses, free my people again
We're all working for the pharaoh
And it′s 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
Round his feet the princes kneel
Far below we shoulder the wheel
We're all working for the pharaoh
