Pharaoh - Richard Thompson

Pharaoh Lyrics

Pharaoh he sits in his tower of steel
The dogs of money all at his heel
Magicians cry, Oh Truth! Oh Real
We're all working for the PharaohA thousand eyes, a thousand ears
He feeds us all, he feeds our fears
Don't stir in your sleep tonight, my dears
We're all working for the PharaohEgypt Land, Egypt Land
We're all living in Egypt land
Tell me, brother, don't you understand
We're all working for the PharaohHidden from the eye of chance
The men of shadow dance a dance
And we're all struck into a trance
We're all working for the PharaohIdols rise into the sky
Pyramids soar, Sphinxes lie
Head of dog, Osiris eye
We're all working for the PharaohEgypt Land, Egypt Land
We're all living in Egypt land
Tell me, brother, don't you understand

We're all working for the PharaohI dig a ditch, I shape a stone
Another battlement for his throne
Another day on earth is flown
We're all working for the PharaohCall it England, call it Spain
Egypt rules with the whip and chain
Moses free my people again
We're all working for the PharaohEgypt Land, Egypt Land
We're all living in Egypt land
Tell me, brother, don't you understand
We're all working for the PharaohPharaoh he sits in his tower of steel
Around his feet the princes kneel
Far beneath we shoulder the wheel
We're all working for the Pharaoh
