The Axe 歌詞

You lit a fuse And then you ran away You cried all day When the axe came down You pay your money You take a chance But now you do a different dance And there'll be no pipers playing When the axe comes down You said the streets of the city Were paved in gold But you were bought and sold Before the axe came down You ran the gauntlet You ran from the law But you ran outta luck When the axe came down Now i can't tell you why The martyrs had to fry Some say it's just an act of god Who dares wins Who hesitates has lost And now you pay the cost When the axe comes down And all you paid up republicans Who live by the gun Your time will come When the axe comes down But every generation Just filled with hate Running from the blade When the axe comes down The architects and draftsmen Who build the brave new world They'll call for your blood When the axe comes down
