Despot Lyrics

Smile that crooked smile

When you watch them crawl

Between the dark and the fright

Put on a warm coat

When you drive them out

Into the cold and bitter night

Go on sell our bodies down a river

Go on sell them by the million

Bulldoze down their homes

Then you can drive them out

Sell their land for a song

They carry the weight of the world

But you cut them down

Burn their houses to the ground

Go on sell our bodies down a river

Go on sell them by the million

Fancy food and wine

While your people starve,

Brushed aside by your pride

When they hunt you down

Will you stand and fight

Will you shift the blame

Do you see the light

Can you heal their pain

Do you feel their shame

Will you make amends

Or will you walk away

Will you try to forgive?
