Moroccan Wood Lyrics

Look at the curves

The intricate detail

Moroccan wood makes such a good fire

To keep us warm

Out here on the streets

Out here tonight

Such a beautiful night

So full of ash and terror

Watch as the wicked things burn

Watch as history is made

Watch as the ones with everything

Plead for their very lives

Moroccan wood

It's a wonder what you did

It's a wonder that you hid all these years

Successfully

What does that say about us?

That we would put up with all of this

Insolent behavior?

Disgracing everything

By the way you used to feast

With your servants by your side

How did they not slit your throats?

How were they convinced?

There's people starving everywhere

Just take a look outside

Your castle may be perfect

Behind those walls so tall

But you stole it all from us

It's time you paid the price

I know I'm wrong

I know it's all in my head

The road to the future

Will be paved by you instead

But I will leave a mark

Upon your golden throne

Because I can

And so it will be shown

That you will never listen

And maybe someone will come along

Hearing these songs

Someone who can do something

Someone who belongs

It's a partnership

A notice across time

The direction of the wind

Can flip upon a dime

Democracy is the voice of society

And revolutions are the arms of change

Workers of the world unite!

You have nothing to lose

Except your chains

This is the tenet

Upon which our house is built

Our house of the future

To fertilize the garden

We need to unionize

And go with what we've got

The bottomline has changed

It's time to rearrange your portfolio

We're no longer buying

What you sell to us

All machinery will turn to rust

And break down eventually

This machine is in revolt

Refusing to yield, down to the very last bolt

We'll pick ourselves up and struggle with our cause

It won't be easy, because you refuse to give in

Well, so do we

And shall we begin?

Moroccan wood makes such a good fire

To keep us warm, out here on the streets

Out here tonight

Such a beautiful night

So full of ash and terror

So full of dreams
