Pharaoh Lyrics - Richard Thompson

Pharaoh he sits in his tower of steel 

The dogs of money all at his heel 

Magicians cry "Oh truth! Oh real!" 

We're all working for the Pharaoh 

A thousand eyes, a thousand ears 

He feeds us all, he feeds our fears 

Don't stir in your sleep tonight, my dears 

We're all working for the Pharaoh 

It's Egypt land, Egypt land 

We're all living in Egypt land 

Tell me, brother, don't you understand 

We're all working for the Pharaoh 

Hidden from the eye of chance 

The men of shadow dance a dance 

We're all struck into a trance 

We're all working for the Pharaoh

The idols rise into the sky 

Pyramids soar, Sphinxes lie 

Head of dog, Osiris eye 

We're all working for the Pharaoh 

And it's Egypt land, Egypt land 

We're all living in Egypt land 

Tell me, brother, don't you understand 

We're all working for the Pharaoh 

I dig a ditch, I shape a stone 

Another battlement for his throne 

Another day on earth is flown 

We're all working for the Pharaoh 

Call it England, you call it Spain 

Egypt rules with a whip and chain 

Moses free my people again 

We're all working for the Pharaoh

And it's Egypt land, Egypt land 

We're all living in Egypt land 

Tell me, brother, don't you understand 

We're all working for the Pharaoh 

Pharaoh he sits in his tower of steel 

Around his feet the princes kneel 

Far beneath we shoulder the wheel 

We're all working for the Pharaoh
