Many great ones through the ages

Have att ained to e arthly p ower

Yet they a ll had their h our

As we w itnessed beh ind our c ages.

Sad it i s when f ate as fa iled to speed them.

But for u s whose j ob it is to feed them,

Whether this on e's high or that one l ow

The load on our sh oulders al ways g row.

Still the m illwheel turns

It turns fore ver

Though what is upp ermost

Remains not so.

The wa ter underneath

In vain ende avor,

Does the w ork but a lways stays be low.

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

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.

Refrain
