Richard Thompson - Pharaoh Lyrics
Pharaoh he sits in his tower of steelThe dogs of money all at his heelMagicians cry, Oh Truth! Oh Real!We're all working for the PharaohA thousand eyes, a thousand earsHe feeds us all, he feeds our fearsDon't stir in your sleep tonight, my dearsWe're all working for the PharaohEgypt Land, Egypt LandWe're all living in Egypt landTell me, brother, don't you understandWe're all working for the PharaohHidden from the eye of chanceThe men of shadow dance a danceAnd we're all struck into a tranceWe're all working for the PharaohIdols rise into the skyPyramids soar, Sphinxes lieHead of dog, Osiris eyeWe're all working for the PharaohI dig a ditch, I shape a stoneAnother battlement for his throneAnother day on earth is flownWe're all working for the PharaohCall it England, call it SpainEgypt rules with the whip and chainMoses free my people again!We're all working for the PharaohPharaoh he sits in his tower of steelAround his feet the princes kneelFar beneath we shoulder the wheelWe're all working for the Pharaoh
