what they say let them say

they mock the weak and bow before the strong
thinking that all have them in deepest awe
we cannot bear their yoke for very long

the loud applause they get for every song
hides the clear fact that they can only caw
they mock the weak and bow before the strong

their only thought as we are swept along
is that we cannot see a single flaw
we cannot bear their yoke for very long

they think their numbers constitute a throng
and hope to hold us down with whip and claw
they mock the weak and bow before the strong

all moves they think to sound of drum and gong
while they can't see they rush into a maw
we cannot bear their yoke for very long

we do not undertake to accept wrong
for many years nor will we forsake law
they mock the weak and bow before the strong
we cannot bear their yoke for very long
