The Cardboard Crowns - Bounty On His Head

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “In all the time that I’ve been here I never dreamt I’d see The millions of people live so casually And the airwave’s voice bids that we rejoice Because the answers are in our tests And the T.V. screens (at least the one’s I’ve seen) Will demand a pound of flesh… a pound of flesh. In the short time that I’ve been here I never dreamt I’d see The millions of people die so causally. And the contract between life and death Seems stained into our skin So the contact point of our first steps Will confine us to our kin… to our kin. And the bomb-safe’s gate swings way too late As the killing blow is dealt And when the lips of men from their beds repent It’s not really how they felt. Because the keen ones know that the rich ones owe Their fortunes to the dead. And that the cash that flows from the dead mans bones Is twice the bounty on his head The bounty on his head. from GLOBAL CITIZEN, released October 17, 2014 Songwriting by Joel “Rat“ Kuehn Production & Arrangement by Rat & David “Tokyo“ Speirs“
