A Thousand Years - Tom Paxton[00:00:00]
The Burgher banged his fist on the table[00:00:08]
Red face glowing with pride[00:00:12]
We'll rise he cried[00:00:16]
As soon as we're able[00:00:18]
Avenging the ones who died[00:00:20]
No more the hunted[00:00:24]
No more the mouse[00:00:26]
No more the quivering prey[00:00:28]
The Masters are driving the Slaves from the house[00:00:32]
The Masters are coming to stay[00:00:36]
The Burgher dipped his bread in the gravy[00:00:40]
Splattering his silken tie[00:00:44]
Nachmal the Wehrmacht[00:00:48]
Nachmal the Navy[00:00:50]
Nachmal the thundering skies[00:00:52]
Once more the stadium rocking with cheers[00:00:56]
Once more the torchlight parade[00:01:00]
Away with the cowering dog bitten years[00:01:04]
Away with the humble charade[00:01:08]
A thousand years[00:01:12]
The tears of the weak for our wine[00:01:15]
A thousand years[00:01:19]
We'll pluck them like fruit from the vine[00:01:21]
Ah they fed us[00:01:24]
And clothed us and handed us weapons as well[00:01:26]
But give us a leader[00:01:31]
We'll follow him down into Hell[00:01:33]
The Burgher spilled his wine on the table[00:01:39]
Staggering out of his chair[00:01:44]
We'll rise he cried[00:01:48]
As soon as we're able[00:01:50]
Stroking the young man's hair[00:01:52]
The English are finished[00:01:56]
The French are fools[00:01:58]
The Russians have China to fear[00:02:00]
The Yanks holler Commie[00:02:04]
And follow they're rules[00:02:06]
When the time for the rising is here[00:02:08]
The young man's eyes were firey and glowing[00:02:12]
The burgher's hand in his own[00:02:16]
We'll rise he cried[00:02:20]
The movement is growing[00:02:23]
We'll march on a road of bones[00:02:25]
They're coming from Egypt[00:02:29]
They're coming from Hess[00:02:31]
They're coming from Argentine[00:02:33]
We'll march over Russia[00:02:37]
We'll march to the West[00:02:39]
We'll show them what conquest can mean[00:02:41]
A thousand years[00:02:45]
The tears of the weak for our wine[00:02:47]
A thousand years[00:02:51]
We'll pluck them like fruit from the vine[00:02:53]
Ah they fed us and clothed us[00:02:57]
And handed us weapons as well[00:03:00]
But give us a leader[00:03:03]
By God and we'll see them in Hell[00:03:05]
