Naysayers

Salted earth and indifferent skies
 This was not the town that he left behind
 Killing for a piece of coal
 Kneel, prey, take the dole
 Starve em out, and throw 'em in the snow
 And no
 That's no way to watch your poor mother go
 The landlord's dwelling sat on top of the hill
 Sights set, went for the kill
 The gate swings and the guards hit the ground
 Peddling prowess, there's a new kid in town
 War scars worn proud loud like medals
 Rage goin' off like a kettle
 Judge, oh Judge can you help me out?
 This isn't making sense, can you tell me how
 You're justified in sentencing starving men to death for stealing
 And didn't think you'd hang from the ceiling
 The judges and the masters
 Are hanging from the rafters
 The judges and the masters
 Are swinging in the cold
 All the dead are laughing
 At all the church walls cracking
 Judges and the masters
 Sadistic sorry souls
 I was a man of no grudges
 I've always paid my debts when I could
 So you can hang all the judges
 Cus those scales never did me no good
 And as the ship sails off with the harvest now
 A starving state under a wicked crown
 A woeful conquest. One for the books
 The blind being lead by the crooks
 The judges and the masters
 Are hanging from the rafters
 The judges and the masters
 Are swinging in the cold
 All the dead are laughing
 At all the church walls cracking
 Judges and the masters
 Sadistic sorry souls
