lyrics

On the day of the oligarchs

Let me tell you a little story
Happened long time ago
When the people were swept aside
By the laws of the land

But you know
The whip cracks away
You know
The whip cracks away

On the first day of the oligarchs
The ruling elite created workers
On the second day of the oligarchs
The ruling elite created money
On the third day of the oligarchs
The ruling elite created banks
On the fourth day of the oligarchs
The ruling elite created warfare

And I believe that all of these things never last
Cast aside a stranger from your distant past
Call aside an offering of everything you know
Can't believe in difference or where you need to go

Let me tell you another story
Happened more recently
When the people were enabled to vote
In a referendum

But you know
The whip cracks away
You know
The whip cracks away
