To The Bone Lyrics

We worked together

Hand in hand

To enslave this patch of land

We believed it is just fair

We will all get our share

But once we were done, there was no us

You took what you could,

Left the rest to rust

Now our bodies are aching

We see fire through the dust

Canaries have all choked

Your children will be broke

You cough from all the smoke

Yet you still believe

Prosperity is within your reach

Look at our castles on the shore

We told you can have this and even more

You just have to pass the sea

Just put your shoulder to the wheel

Keep on going when things get real

But we swam through calm waters

While you are drowning in our tar

Canaries have all choked

Your children will be broke

You cough from all the smoke

Prosperity is not here

We've been working our fingers to the bone

You keep saying we just need to give more

We'll drown looking at the shore

We'll drown looking at the shore
