Battle Hymn of the Occupation
Harrison max Pfingsten
Dear Grandmother needs feeding for the rat’s been at her store
And little Red can’t bring her bread when she can find no more.
Her house now quakes divided and the wolf is at the door
The weak are preyed upon
Tory Tory how you screwed us
Tory Tory how you screwed us
Tory Tory how you screwed us
The weak are preyed upon
The people have gone bankrupt while the princes’ profits soar
What peasants use to feed themselves, lords use for keeping score.
The grumbles of the rich drown out the wailing of the poor
And all the jobs are gone
[Chorus] And all the Jobs are gone
Feudalism isn’t dead, you’ll find fiefdoms galore
Our nation sells her favors off like any common whore
She and her friends each take a bite and leave us just the core
Our nation’s wealth is pawned.
[Chorus] Our nation’s wealth is pawned
They’ll chat, snug in their castles, heedless of the masses’ roar
“The whining of the commoners is always such a bore.”
“The plebs are getting restless. We should start another war”
The battle line’s been drawn.
[Chorus] The Battle Line’s Been Drawn
Merchant of Light, you might enjoy the essay "Heading Down the Road to Disunion," which you can find at ourfuture.org, just Google the title and that site, should get you there and a few more Civil War tunes.
I know they're not Tory's but they're the next thing to it, supporters of an unaccountable system of control. Besides, couldnt think of anything else to replace Glory I suppose glory glory how you screwed us would also work
