about

Somewhere between Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and the Pogues
One of my favourite songs from the album, but at the same time one that I would feel nervous about sharing
The tale of a greedy capitalist

lyrics

He came across the seas a’rowing
Landed just in time
He rounded up the clansmen
He said that “all was mine”
He told them they were dangers
And he had to keep them safe
They had to pay their taxes
And he put them in his case
He put a spade into the ground
And made them dig with all their worth
He pulled up all the rocks
And then he said that was his earth
He sailed right up the Amazon
And burned it in a blitz
A flag upon the hat he donned
He said that all was his
All is His

He trapped them in a wide web
And sent them all to sleep
Entertain their brain waves
And turned them into sheep
Keep the people in their boxes
And the livestock in their cages
He wasn’t such a rotten egg
He let them all have wages
He strolled across the charred land
Singing Money’s time
Put his feet into the ashes
And he said that all is mine
Sent them packing in the factory
They’re told to mind their biz
The smaller shops have closed and gone
He said that all is his
All is His

Put the rock into the fire
Till it was burning like the sun
Told theme there was danger
And he was the chosen one
Put a man upon a cross
Killed him in the light of day
Told the people they were sinners
Yet Jesus had to pay
He put poison in the water
The people couldn’t breathe
He said it was the others
And by God they had to leave
Hunted down the last one
He said there was no crime
A smile upon his face
Said to himself all is mine
All is His
