Ian Kelly - Parliament Lyrics
I'm stretching my legs; I’m bending my kneesI don’t exercise much but now I’m at ease on cementDown at the old ParliamentI’m walking on eggs; I’ve got a beard made of beesWhat appeared like a forest was many small trees, we’re the listHold your chin up high and raise your fistThis is all of my rage in a single phraseWe came here on a bus; don’t forget you work for usEven though we’re displeased I guess you had our votesBut our rights were seized, made some sheep out of goats, and you saidI will decide who will be well fedThis is all of my rage in a single songIf it were just my call, then you wouldn’t be there for longNow, dying for a hospital bedDepression contagiously spreadsEveryday’s a repeat of the same tragedyNow, nothing is done but all has been saidNo one’s hitting the nail on the headIn a room infected by their apathyCanadian oil, we extract from the soilNuclear soldiers, fire and fires, we’veStolen all the fish from the dirty seaAt the old Parliament, things are moving way too slowWe are paying the rent; I think we should run the showNow, there are missiles pointing at meThere are kids caught in the debrisAnd my shirt was extorted from their familyNow I can’t live with my head in the sandI can’t be under foolish commandWhat we need is to have a democracy
