Lyrics
Scales
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.
How many laws were put in place,
Simply with the soul purpose to generate;
The wages of the people who keep telling us -
What's right, what's wrong,
our rights and what we can and cannot say?
Well I won't sit and watch as they -
Tip the scales of power,
Against us.
Still you act as if the things they say,
Are gospel like the word of God well;
Lead us from temptation couldn't see the truth,
If it was broadcast on the news.
I hope they hear me when I say:
We don't need you!
Rules aren't made in parliament,
Or congress or in commons,
It's in offices; by business men,
Where profit is the only thing that -
Tips the scales of power,
Against us.
Ask yourself; what is it they've done for you,
That you couldn't do, for yourself.
No we don't need you!
