The Ballad Of The Millwheel
Ton : CEnglish
CMany great ones through the Dmages
Have attGained to eEarthly pAmower
Yet they aCll had their hDmour
As we wGitnessed behEind our cAmages.
Sad it iFs when fFmate as faCiled to speed them.
But for uFs whose jFmob it isC to feed them,
Whether this onF6e's high or that one lCow
The load on our shGoulders alEways gAmrow.
Refrain
Still the mAmillwheel turns
It Bm7(b5)turns foreCver
Though what is uppFermost
F#(dim)Remains not Gso.
The waAmter underneath
InBm7(b5) vain endeCavor,
Does the wFork but aGlways stays beClow.
Many are different masters
Who have ruled us in their day
Eagles, hyenas and tigers
Even swine have had their say.
Wich of them was better than the others ?
Every boot's the copy of its brother.
Do you understand what's here intended ?
We don't need no masters, we want all mastery ended.
Refrain
Refrain
And they beat their heads
Till they are bloody
scrambling after booty.
Everyone calls the other "rascal"
And himself "the slave of duty".
Time has come away to speed them.
Each in lasting conflict with its brother.
Only our will that we won't feed them
Brings them to peace with one another.
