we have fed you all a thousand years (live / 1984) - bruce brackney lyrics

Loading...

we have fed you all for a thousand years
you hail us still unfed
there’s never a dollar of all your wealth
but marks of workers dead
we have given our best to give you rest
while you lie on crimson wool
if blood be the price of all your wealth
good god we have paid in full

there is never a mine blown skyward now
we’re buried alive for you
there’s never a wreck drifts shoreward now
but we are its ghastly crew
and you can reckon our dead by the forges red
but the factories is where we spin
if blood be the price of all your wealth
good god we have paid it in

we have fed you all for a thousand years
that was our doom, you know
from the days when you chained us in your fields
to the strike a week ago
you have taken our lives, and our jobs and our brides
and called it your legal share
but if blood be the price of your lawful wealth
good god we have bought it fair
