C Dm
Many great ones through the ages
G E Am
Have attained to earthly power
C Dm
Yet they all had their hour
G E Am
As we witnessed behind our cages.
F Fm C
Sad it is when fate as failed to speed them.
F Fm C
But for us whose job it is to feed them,
F6 C
Whether this one's high or that one low
G E Am
The load on our shoulders always grow.
Am
Still the millwheel turns
Bm7(b5) C
It turns forever
F
Though what is uppermost
F#(dim) G
Remains not so.
Am
The water underneath
Bm7(b5) C
In vain endeavor,
F G C
Does the work but always stays below.
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
