lyrics

A nation of laws or a nation of men?
Justice was blind, but now the blindfold covers her tits
ain’t it the pits
when the Bible is the law but the money-changers run the temple?
How did we let it come to this?
Somebody fell asleep at the switch and when we woke, we all were broke
Secretly and cleverly the burden had been shifted to our yoke

It is to laugh when the bean counters forget their math
it is to cry when we let lie the sleeping dogs that turn on us when we have closed our eyes

Hobson never had a choice like this
Pay for the repairs or do we burn it to the ground?
It is unsound
The inspector shakes his head and sadly says “it’s a total loss”
How did we let it come to this
our shining house on a hill is now a derelict
we spent the rent on an arsenal and now we have no place to keep it.

How did we let it come to this?
