Chorus:
Hey, hey, burned away
In the night on fire and the sunless day!
Ha, ha, rule of law!
Biggest lie you ever saw.
Fall wars here and big crimes there
Make such a fine excuse
To put your life in the hands of a man
Who will never turn you loose.
Boss and beaurocrat, cop and preacher,
We`ll let them have their way.
They got power and all the Earth,
We`ve got hell to pay.
Trade your freedom and rights away
For their sworn security.
Trash the earth and spoil the waters
For a sound economy.
Just pay your taxes and do your job.
Be grateful you`re workin` at all.
Don`t make waves or the law will get you
`Fore this house of cards can fall.
Cops and soldiers, peace and war;
That`s where your money goes.
Look how long last the summer droughts
And how black the winter snows.
Was it a war or just pollution
That ate a hole in the sky?
Watch our bosses run for cover
And leave us here to die.
Came a night when the sky was red
And a day when the sky was black,
And a roar of rage from the tortured millions
As they took their freedom back.
Enough of laws, enough of orders,
Enough of leaders and war.
Just one pledge to a suffering world...
No rulers anymore.
Biggest lie you ever saw.
