Life buoy

 They will fleece you in the desert, and fleece you out to sea

They will grease you like a pheasant

Preserved in modernity

They will take without asking

Put you under their control,

But most of all,

Young man, young man

The will take the life from thee


There will be no bones picked or flung

No stone too big

For to be hung

As a mill stone about your neck

Oh, peck, peck you chickens

Peck, until the blood spots fleck


Crow, crow in the morning

Until the sun comes dawning

And you know the day is come


Freedom rises like a star

Look up, look up

You know you are

Lucky to have this

World, this land

This natural sea

Beautiful sand


Come rejoice in the gift of life

And live for 

once so many did sacrifice

Thier own for you to live

In the freedom you have

Live the life you were given

In this earthly paradise
