Lyrics
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed fool is king Mediocrity is the jewel in the ruler's crown Corruption of the mind, blood upon the hand Every leader is a sell-out, every follower, a broken soul Oh, beware goodfella, you're now in a lion's den And no manner of prayer is gonna save your pride See, they'll mash you and kick you and dance around your pain As you lie upon the fangs of the vicious beast, whoa ♪ ♪ Like the vultures on the hill awaiting upon the dying They suck from the poor, the weak, even the little child They claw their way up the ladder with a foul smell Greed is their banner and wickedness be their shield So beware, goodfella, you're now in a lion's den This land where no one speaks when evil is done Oh, we cower in fear and quietly slink away, ay-ay-ay Because no one dares to look in the eyes of the beast, whoa And mother's calling, she's calling the children of hope The wind is a-turning (good fortune is on the way) ♪ So the war to be fought will not be with a gun We transform our minds and the works of our hands Together lift up the arms of mother justice Merit and excellence in everything that we do But beware, good people, they won't go silently This army of evil will fight to the very last For the living, downtrodden and the ones yet unborn We shall sweep away the rot of the stinky beast, whoa And mother's calling, she's calling the children of hope The wind is turning, and good fortune is on the way
