Moses from No Offense by Antun Opic

moses

why would i need a shovel in my hand?
what's here to dig man? my own grave?
i don't need your haircut
i don't need your shave

why would i need money in your bank?
what's here to pay man? my own bone?
i don't need your palace
i don't need your throne

say, why would i need your whip to lick my back?
what's here to sweat for? a bed and bread?
since i know you
i've got the rats in my shed

i won't bow, i won't beg
to your lack of respect
the big desert you spread
in my head
i won't beg, i won't bow
to your glamour and your show
the big mountains you pull
in front of my window
let my people go

let 'em go
let 'em go
let my people go!

why would i need your words to cut my tongue?
what's here to speak bout? that's your lie!
i won't greet you
i won't wave goodbye

why would i need your rifle in my hand?
what's here to fight for? that's my land!
i don't trust you
i don't shake your hand

you're not what i'd call a friend
a friend won't spill no tear
and a friend does not appear
in all this army gear

is that what you call kind?
kind men don't act like rats
kind men don't hang out
with the bats

i won't beg, i won't bow
cause no justice and no law
will stop this river of blood
that just reached my doorstep
let my people go

let 'em go
let 'em go
let my people go!
