The Plough - The Divine Comedy[00:00:00]

I packed up my suitcase and left the old farm[00:00:13]

I promised my papa I'd come to no harm[00:00:19]

And I went to the city where I was employed[00:00:26]

In a firm of accountants as an office boy [00:00:32]

I fetched and I carried I watched and I learned[00:00:50]

And slowly but surely I rose through the firm [00:00:57]

But then I discovered my colleagues one day[00:01:03]

Massaging the figures for personal gain[00:01:10]

I said "I'll not wallow in this house of shame"[00:01:16]

I'll plough my own furrow I'll go my own way [00:01:26]

Gravely I listened to Reverend McBride[00:01:46]

Down at the mission house each Friday night [00:01:53]

Heaven salvation for those who know best [00:01:59]

Hell and damnation for all of the rest [00:02:06]

Try as I might I could not understand[00:02:24]

Why The Almighty's all-merciful hand[00:02:30]

Should cast away those whose only mistake[00:02:36]

Was never to know the Christian faith[00:02:43]

The stars that we follow can lead us astray[00:02:50]

I'll plough my own furrow I'll go my own way[00:02:59]

I fled from the capital's bourgeois malaise[00:03:26]

And trekked through the wilderness[00:03:32]

For fourteen days[00:03:36]

Till I found the guerillas camped high in the hills[00:03:39]

I asked Comrade Diaz whom I should kill [00:03:45]

I crept into town with a knife in my teeth[00:04:03]

And entered the home of the Chief of Police[00:04:10]

I stood at his bedside and raised up my blade[00:04:16]

But then I looked to the crib where[00:04:23]

His little one lay[00:04:26]

You murder tomorrow by killing today[00:04:29]

I'll plough my own furrow I'll go my own way[00:04:40]
