Temple X - The Liberty Tree lyrics

I don't want to go to the market square But i admit that once i travelled there And i gave in to temptation too When i left i had no shirt to wear They try to sell you things you already own Tell you that this place is not your home Then charge you for the rain and sunshine too And poison everything that you have grown But there goes the king of labourers His load is heavy still And he'll carry his burden Like a good man can To the foot of liberty hill At the root of the liberty tree I might see you there at the dawning But please don't you wait for me I talked to thieves but did they ever listen? They had ears but there was something missing You take to using sign-language too Tell them that some gold just doesn't glisten Well you've played the performing monkey Much too long And you know The organ-grinder's tunes are wrong You pretend to have some kinda control But you'll be out on the street before too long But there goes the queen of labourers Sweeping back the sea And she'll carry her load like a good woman can To the root of the liberty tree At the foot of liberty hill I'll meet you there at the dawning If you're waiting still Well sometimes you think You've learnt how to swim But just look at this crazy Swamp you're in And your fame excuses are all wearing thin Just who are you kidding now? oh! They tie you up and put you in a cage And wonder why you should be in a rage Then feed you on scraps Comes off their taxes too And say you've gotta Keep up with the age But there goes the child of labourers Through the valley of the kings And demanding the birthright Like all children should At the source of the liberty spring By the root of the liberty tree I'll meet you there in the dawning If you'd wait for me And i do hope you wait - for me
