Lyrics
Hammer Stirrup & Anvil
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Our glorious leader
Declares by decree:
'the music of the glorious state from this time on will be
Square-jawed and dreary
For the good of us all.'
Hammer, stirrup and anvil under state control
My name is dimitri
Man of some renown
In this symphony of spies i keep my ear to the ground
Stave, crochet and quaver
Under the editor's scrawl
Hammer, stirrup and anvil under state control
An operetta for our leader
A quartet for the drawer
He gets the rank cantatas
And i keep the score
A libretto for the death camps
Some day you'll hear them all
Hammer, stirrup and anvil under state control
Hammer, stirrup and anvil under state control
