Lyrics
The Brotherhood
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.
Golden handshakes, secret signs
Walls have ears and telephone lines
Judge and defendant, sacred brothers
Drop the charge and accuse the others
They make history, they make the law
(The brotherhood)
They make money, they make war
(The brotherhood)
Power corrupts and power succeeds
(The brotherhood)
And you take the whip right down on your knees
(The brotherhood)
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick maker
The whole of the Government
And its caretaker
Doctors and lawyers, priests and crooks
Some unemployed just to cook old books
Their hearts seem cold
And their minds are sick
The things they'll do just to get their kicks
Spirit has spread right across the nation
In forty-eight percent of the population
They make history, they make the law
(The brotherhood)
They make money and they make war
(The brotherhood)
Power corrupts and power succeeds
(The brotherhood)
You have to join the club to get what you need
(The brotherhood)
They make history, they make the law
(The brotherhood)
They make money and they make war
(The brotherhood)
Power corrupts and power succeeds
(The brotherhood)
I may be a drag but I don't brag
(The brotherhood)
The brotherhood
The brotherhood
The brotherhood
The brotherhood
The brotherhood
