lyrics

Shadow Time

Divide and Conqure is how you win the war
you gotta, keep the poor fighting the poor
you wanna keep them hungry, but keep them fed
so they can work real hard sun up to sunset

I was there and you were here too
we worked so hard we wore through our shoes
they were made of foreign plastic as the labor was cheap
so we bought a new pair every couple of weeks

I can't believe we are here in the
21st century
still fighting this same old battle of greed
If you ever don't here from me
well Im locked away in some fantasy
Island they built for free thinkers like me

Divide and Conqure is how you win the war
you gotta, keep the poor fighting the poor
keep them hungry, but keep them fed
so they can work real hard sun up to sunset

There was a time when this country stood proud
we are all run down by a bunch of fat cats now
the armies once fought to keep the people free
now we are hired guns in a war machine.

If you ever don't here from me
well Im locked away in some fantasy
Island they built for out spoken folk like me
If you ever don't here from me
well Im locked away in some fantasy
Island they built for wanted men like me
