Skyclad

Words Upon The Street
With laptops made of calfskin, wrought to spread the holy will Disseminating dogma, using lapis, gold and quill And the word was with the few and the few were very strong A mass communication where you feel you don't belong Now the words that flow between us run like torrents through the air Connecting everymen at any moment, anywhere Seems that what's important at the end of the day Down through all the ages, just the same old things to say Sure, the aldermen and theigns did tarry, warmed in winter halls With new ideas and learning locked up safe within their walls Till the patrons all did strive, with the "Blue Plague brigade" Victorian reformers will be smiling in their graves To hear how the news spread between us Something good to tell the world? Though it's mostly dumb and they say it's cheap There's a talk plan made for everyone To think some people deny this... In a free state, tongues too should be free And in desperate lands, the disaffected hand Sprays "Save the world" upon the street Now the words that flow between us run like torrents through the air Letras de cancionesConnecting everymen at any moment, anywhere Seems that what's important at the end of the day It's mass communication and we call can have our say We may speak of creature comforts, but still our greatest feat Is to see and hear and understand the words upon the street From Letras Mania
