Crazy Arm - Song of Choice lyrics

rate me

Early every year the seeds are growing

Unseen, unheard, they lie beneath the ground

Would you know before the leaves are showing

That with weeds all your garden will abound.

If you close your eyes, stop your ears,

Hold your tongue, how can you know.

For seeds you cannot see may not be there

Seeds you cannot hear may never grow

In January you've still got the choice

You can cut the weeds before they start to bud

If you leave them to grow high they'll silence your voice.

And in December you may pay with your blood.

Chorus

So close your eyes, stop your ears,

Close your mouth, take it slow.

Let others take the lead and you bring up the rear,

And later you can say you didn't know.

Ev'ry day another vulture takes flight

There's another danger born ev'ry morning

In the darkness of your blindness the beast will

learn its bite

How can you fight if you can't recognise a

warning?

Today you may earn a living wage

Tomorrow you may be on the dole

Though there's millions going hungry, you needn't disengage

For it's them not you, who've fallen in the hole.

Today the soldiers took away one

Tomorrow they may take away two

While April they took away Greece

But surely they will never take you?

It's alright for you if you run with the pack

It's alright if you agree with all they do

If fascism is slowly climbing back

It's not here yet, so what's it got to do with you?

The weeds are all around us and they are growing

It will soon be too late for the knife

If you leave them on the wind that around the wind is blowing

You may pay for your silence with your life.

So close your eyes, stop your ears,

Close your mouth, and never dare

And if it happens here they'll never come for you,

Because they know you really didn't care
