The Fisherman

[Instrumental intro] [spoken word] Once was a fisherman who came to the new land With nothing but a fishin' pole in his hand He had no future where he came from He hoped to find one here [spoken word] He thought about how back home They kept the people poor He hoped he would find a way To the western dream and a whole lot more [Chorus] And when he got here He saw a king And the people he had chained It looked a lot like the place he came from It looked a lot like the place he came from Just a different name [spoken word] He said "The promised land is just a big lie Finding ways to keep us hungry and dry And if we wanna find our way We better try to make them pay" [Chorus] And when he got here He saw a king And the people he had chained It looked a lot like the place he came from It looked a lot like the place he came from Just a different name [Guitar solo] [spoken word] So the fisherman said "Let's try to take the land I just need your helping hand If he objects to what we've planned He'll lose his crown and his command." [spoken word] The people rose in a tidal wave For the new life they hoped to save They broke the gates and took the keep While the king was sound asleep The fisherman, he took the throne And swore no man would walk alone But fear's a seed that starts to grow Forcing you to just say "no" To keep the peace, for their own good He did the things he swore he never would [Chorus] And now he got here He is a king And the people he chained He looked a lot like the man he took from He looked a lot like the man he took from With a different name
