The Killigans - Lullaby for the Working Man Lyrics
His best friend from childhood fell dead by his sideHis last words, though I die, fight onHis enemies’ blood mingled thick with his tearsHis lips formed the words of a song…….The band has been outdone, by the choirThey lifted their voices on highThe priest has been shot down, because he’s a liarThe judge said he deserved to dieHe began to see as the stakes slowly raisedThis class struggle accomplished nothingThe rich just get richer, while the poor fight themselvesTheir kids succumb to apathyBut then a man cried out among the massesWe’ll slave for the bourgeois no moreAnd then the bells rang out, an indicationThat this cause was worth fighting forSomewhere in between determination and too much prideThey failed to see what they were breaking upThey watched their children die for economic sanctityBut money is still deemed worthy, so it continues todayA broken shape lifted from lost libertyHe nods to the wind then turns westwardFor some men seek justice while others they dreamAnd this world beats them both to the groundTheir fists have been worn down, by broken promisesA tattered hope ripped at the seamsA life of decency, was all they wantedA long lasting equality
