Take Things into Our Own Hands Lyrics by Ricky Allan

2021

[CATESBY]
We have been persecuted
First in the church and now our homes
We worked for a solution
But all we got was broken bones
It’s time to take things into our own hands

First Queen Elizabeth, now James
These royal puppets, all the same
They need their subjects to comply
If you don’t see things eye-to-eye
You’ve got to take things into your own hands

[ENSEMBLE]
Woah
Ooh
Woah

[CATESBY]
You Sir, your wealth has dwindled
From all the fines you’ve had to pay (fines to be a rich man
Your family name in ruins
‘Cause you don’t pray in the same way
You’ve got to takе things into your own hands!

We need to think of a way to bring the whole ship down
From thе edge of his throne, we’ll throw him to the ground
When he’s on the floor, we will pick up his crown
That’s how you take things into your own hands

We'll think of a way to bring the whole ship down
From the edge of his throne, we’ll throw him to the ground (ground)
When he’s on the floor, we will pick up his crown
That’s how you take things into your own hands

[WRIGHT, WINTER & CATESBY]
For years we fought and suffered
We thought we’d finally found our peace
His promises were empty
His words were nothing but deceit
That’s why we’ll take things into our hands

[PERCY & CATESBY]
I once had influence and power
But all that’s gone and things turned sour
But we can make a real change
They’ll only have themselves to blame
When we take things into our own hands

[ALL]
We need to think of a way to bring the whole ship down
From the edge of his throne, we’ll throw him to the ground
When he’s on the floor, we will pick up his crown
That’s how you take things into your own hands

We’ll think of a way to bring the whole ship down (bring the whole ship down)
From the edge of his throne, we’ll throw him to the ground
When he’s on the floor, we will pick up his crown
That’s how you take things into your own hands

Take things into our own hands
Take things into our own hands (take things into)
Take things into, take things into our own hands
Take things into our own hands (take things into our own hands)
Into our own hands
