Aurelio Voltaire - Robber Baron lyrics
[Aurelio Voltaire - Robber Baron lyrics]
Of all things malign
An accident on the assembly line today
Cut him to the bone
"But what can you expect
From clumsy eight-year-olds?" i'm told
Look outside the window
You see the growing crowd of kids
With missing arms and feet nothing to eat
What cold, heartless beast
Can sit and have his feast? Every night
While their plight's always in his sight
Robber Baron, in the tower
Counting all his gold
You know while he goes unchecked
And stays in power
He's never gonna let, he's never gonna let
He's never gonna let us go
Marching in the streets
The mighty hammer of the Baron's own police
With their flags and guns
And guns, and drums and boots
And blood red banners, dogs and guns
Black shirts pound the pavement
With the bold insignias
Of wolves and bats and snakes
And birds of prey filling us with fear
Our hearts are full of tears
Who's so vain? For his game?
Causing so much pain?
Robber Baron, in the tower
Counting all his gold
You know while he goes unchecked
And stays in power
He's never gonna let, he's never gonna let
He's never gonna let us go
Robber Baron in the castle
Basking in his greed
You know while he breaks no
Sweat and gets no hassle
He's never gonna let, never gonna let
Never gonna let us free
Robber Baron, in the tower
Counting all his gold
You know while he goes unchecked
And stays in power
He's never gonna let, he's never gonna let
He's never gonna let us go
Robber Baron in the tower
Counting all his gold
You know while he goes unchecked
And stays in power
He's never gonna let, never gonna let
What do you want? (Freedom)
When do you want it? (Now)
Only we can make us free!
An accident on the assembly line today
Cut him to the bone
"But what can you expect
From clumsy eight-year-olds?" i'm told
Look outside the window
You see the growing crowd of kids
With missing arms and feet nothing to eat
What cold, heartless beast
Can sit and have his feast? Every night
While their plight's always in his sight
Robber Baron, in the tower
Counting all his gold
You know while he goes unchecked
And stays in power
He's never gonna let, he's never gonna let
He's never gonna let us go
Marching in the streets
The mighty hammer of the Baron's own police
With their flags and guns
And guns, and drums and boots
And blood red banners, dogs and guns
Black shirts pound the pavement
With the bold insignias
Of wolves and bats and snakes
And birds of prey filling us with fear
Our hearts are full of tears
Who's so vain? For his game?
Causing so much pain?
Robber Baron, in the tower
Counting all his gold
You know while he goes unchecked
And stays in power
He's never gonna let, he's never gonna let
He's never gonna let us go
Robber Baron in the castle
Basking in his greed
You know while he breaks no
Sweat and gets no hassle
He's never gonna let, never gonna let
Never gonna let us free
Robber Baron, in the tower
Counting all his gold
You know while he goes unchecked
And stays in power
He's never gonna let, he's never gonna let
He's never gonna let us go
Robber Baron in the tower
Counting all his gold
You know while he goes unchecked
And stays in power
He's never gonna let, never gonna let
What do you want? (Freedom)
When do you want it? (Now)
Only we can make us free!
