Civil War Dance Lyrics - Skyclad

While sons and daughters of the empire 

Stained the map red, white and blue 

Back at home the storm clouds thundered 

Dole queues lengthened - unrest grew 

'til the tides of fresh opinion 

Washed away the world they knew. 

Exchange inhuman wrongs for human rights 

This underdog not only barks - it bites! 

Take your partners for our civil war dance 

Open season on the under worked and overpaid. 

Erase the Constitution - a bloody revolution 

Is the simplest solution to the problems that they have made.

Children of the urban third world 

Breast fed lies and cathode rays 

Speak their minds down party chat lines 

(they don't have that much to say) 

Told nothing of the world we live in 

Or that it will be theirs someday. 

This system cultivates our lust and greed 

With anti-social insecurity. 

Take your partners for our civil war dance 

Open season on the under worked and overpaid. 

Erase the Constitution - a bloody revolution 

Is the simplest solution to the problems that they have made. 

The preacher tells us all that heaven waits 

So pay your "soul tax" when you reach the gates. 

Take your partners for our civil war dance 

Open season on the under worked and overpaid. 

Erase the Constitution - a bloody revolution 

Is the simplest solution to the problems that they have made.

Livestock bred to feed the cannon 

Hands grown hard with honest toil 

Fuel the fires of mass rebellion 

Hatred's cauldron starts to boil 

They fight for something they believe in 

Not another nation's oil. 

Britannia cowers in her public school 

Once too often now she's waived the rules. 

Take your partners for our civil war dance 

Open season on the under worked and overpaid. 

Erase the Constitution - a bloody revolution 

Is the simplest solution to the problems that they have made.
