lyrics

crumbs from the table have fallen so few so not to catch an eye / reckless and thinkless and felled to the knees to gather before before the broom / what is left amongst the spire that is as tall as the lowest cloud you could reckon the height of / hanging on a branch here every time (though never fall so far) from which we lift these blistered hands only to curse / the families get nothing but porridge of maize / and shacks at the end of farms / cash crops commissioned to pay of the debt and poisoned on the job / driving the mules to death in the wheat then leaving us follow with leather to eat / buried their sabers in mud in the field and sharpen bayonets
