Civil War Dance Songtext
von Skyclad

Shark the System
Shark the System
Shark the System
Shark the System
Shark the System
Shark the System
Shark the System
Was sons and daughters of the empire
Stained the map red, white and blue
Back at home the storm clouds thundered
Docu′s lengthened, unrest grew
Till the tides of fresh opinion
Washed away the world they knew
Exchanging human blood for human rights
It's underdone, not only pax impace
Take a partner for a civil war dance
Open season on the underworked and overpaid
Infringe the constitution
A bloody revolution
The simplest solution


To the problems that they have made
Children of the urban third world
Breastfed lies and cathode rays
Speak their minds out party chaplains
They don′t have that much to say
Know nothing of the world we live in
But that it will be theirs someday
This system talk, it mix of lust and greed
With anti-social insecurity
Take a partner for a civil war dance
Open season on the underworked and overpaid
Infringe the constitution
A bloody revolution
The simplest solution
To the problems that they have made
Shark the System
Shark the System
Shark the System
Shark the System
The preacher tells us that heaven waits
So pay your soul tax when you reach the gates
Blinds of bread to feed the cannon
Pounds grown hard with honest toil
Fuel the fires of mass rebellion
Hatred's cauldron starts to boil
We fight for something they believe in
Not another nation's oil
Britannia cowers in a public stool
Once too often as she′s braved the rules
Take a partner for a civil war dance
Open season on the underworked and overpaid
Infringe the constitution
A bloody revolution
The simplest solution
To the problems that they have made
