Sham
Yeah, you can call me that
As I walk with the Luddites and my crusty axe
I`m a whole lot removed from the Domini Pax
The pacts with the church and the new poll tax
I haven`t got the pox, I`ve turned twenty-eight
My mate`s thirty-one but he`s dying from the plague
Life`s a bitch right now and I can still hear the hills
Resonate
Watch my carbon vibrate mate
And I`m way down the mine
In another lifetime
But I don`t how this canary keeps chirping
And my lungs are tight
When you`ve got to keep working
What`s the point in life
There`s a hundred miners here in the union
March through the manor while the owner takes communion
I`m going in to get my wage for last year
Plus a big bag of food
One of them big chandeliers
I affect the state and affect the earth
And pass my spirit on again
Until it`s triggered by a birth
I resonate
You Resonate
I say echo
You vibrate
I`m in this for a better life
Staying clever
Got the soldiers on the hop
Slept in the oak tree
Raided a crop
They probably think I`m catholic
`Cause of my name
I caught the King`s deer
They were giving me fame
And they heard about my antics
Up at the castle
When I didn`t pay my taxes
Down came the hassle
They burnt my village and my family at the stake
I felt the whole ground shake
Why?
`Cause spirits resonate
They want my pagan head
Turn the hunters in my band and that`s as good as it gets
We affect
You affect
Everybody move your molecules
From your nails to your follicles
Vibrate
It`s eighteen fifty-six
I`m at the workhouse with my bundle of sticks
These people think I`m nuts
But they won`t complain
When their lives get better cause of my campaign
Sabotage man with the Guy Fawkes precedent
Burn the city hall - smoke out the residents
Make a mark in my town and adjust my standard of living
Till my pitchfork rusts
Change the chain
Unchain all hands
Latter-day Scargill
I`ll affect this land
I come in peace
From a small piece of dark
And I`m going back soon
So for now I`ll make marks
Vibrate
