The Scally Cap Brats - The Shiner's War (Acoustic)

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “The Rideau Canal was the setting of the story of a war in old Bytown The french and the Irish were pitted in a fight Though they stood on common ground Just some common workers who were forced into the fray By the bosses who controlled their pay Two groups of common men who were told that they were different That they would have to fight someday Chorus: The bosses were the ones who stood to gain The bosses were the ones that caused the pain For in the Shiner’s War neither side was right but they’d both have to pay the price (they’d both have to pay the price) It’s the same old story of class manipulation and shady political games The Common men were told they must step into the crossfire They weren’t given any say The conflict came to blows and soon fists would fly In the name of insatiable greed The ones who did the fighting weren’t the ones who saw the profit But they were blamed for the deed Chorus: The workers were the ones who’d have to fight The workers were the ones who’d have to die For in the Shiner’s war neither side was right but they’d both have to pay the price (they’d both have to pay the price) from Don’t Look Back, released December 10, 2013“
