When We Take Control Lyrics by Ciaran Murphy

When We Take Control

0

They're gonna call in the army when we take control
But their troops'll be moving with the times
The young men in uniform'll find their souls
And they turn on their leaders for their crimes
The suits in the stock exchange'll scratch their heads
The crops'll be rottin' in the fields
They shake at the windows when our workers come
For the fruits of their neighbour that he steals

[Chorus]
In the age of lovе
We'll have no boss but God above
Takе a chance
And claim your future
Raise the Starry Plough
Only fair can stop us now
No steps back, let's claim
Our future

We weeded the traitors in the union ranks
Who lied and deceived and held us back
We'll tear down the prisons and we'll burn the banks
So the world knows we're never going back
We'll close the casinos and the gambling dens
The worst that the devil ever sent
We'll call in the bailiffs and the money men
And in front of their victims they'll repent

[Chorus]
In the age of love
We'll have no boss but God above
Take a chance
And claim your future
Raise the Starry Plough
Only fair can stop us now
No steps back, let's claim
Our future

We'll hunt down the pursers and the royal bitch
By now, they'll be wearin' workers clothes
The flash fashy bankers and the super rich
Oh, he'll sell every colleague that he knows
We'll call in the workers and we'll storm the banks
And we'll share out the money that we earned
We'll think of the martyrs and we'll give them thanks
And we'll write down the lessons that we learned

[Chorus]
In the age of love
We'll have no boss but God above
Take a chance
And claim your future
Raise the Starry Plough
Only fair can stop us now
No steps back, let's claim
Our future

They're gonna call in the army when we take control
But the troops'll be moving with the times
The young men in uniform'll find their souls
And they turn on their leaders for their crimes
We'll hold up our children and we'll promise them
They they won't be exploited as they grow
From each his ability, to each his needs
Is the one constitution that they'll know
What did Connolly say?
That Irish show a better way
Let our land
Become a beacon
All around the world
The workers' flag shall be unfurled
And it's just the Earth
We're seeking

[Chorus]
In the age of love
We'll have no boss but God above
Take a chance
And claim your future
Raise the Starry Plough
Only fair can stop us now
No steps back, let's claim
Our future
