lyrics: Oaks with Rushes- farewell pharaoh
©2006 JSD

if you spend your entire life serving
you'll have less time for rationale
this is the space we need to compromise

and if we had a glimpse of meaning
maybe we wouldn't have to live like this
where every drop is private property
and every door shut closed

you say you're fighting for some freedom
you say you're fighting for a home
but how much blood is spilled for slavery
and why is everyone alone

if we gave half of all this energy
think of the comfort we could sew
so you want to be a pharaoh
they didn't do it on their own

exasperated by your confidence
terrified to give up any of my own

you say you're fighting for some freedom
you say you're fighting for a home
but how much blood is spilled for slavery
and why are we just left alone

if you gave half of all this energy
think of the comfort we could sew
so you want to be a pharaoh
they didn't do it on their own

farewell pharaoh
farewell pharaoh
