r/songaweek submissions - week 6 - 'They Don't Speak For Us'

Hello Mister Fisherman, are the fish biting tonight?

Goodbye Mister Fisherman, I see they e polluted your mind.

lyrics:

Hello, Hello Mister Fisherman
What have you brought us today?
The Village is tired and weary
What have you brought us today?

I am left empty handed
I have nothing to give
please can you find it in the
bottom of your heart
to give us something
on which to live?

Hello, Hello Mister Fisherma
what have you caught on your line?
the Village no longer can stand on its feet
they've taken away all that is mine

That which we drink is corrupted
the ground that we live on is dead
you are the last hope
of every living being
that cannot go on;
no longer can tread

Hello, Hello Mister Fisherman
are the fish biting tonight?
our stomachs grow small as
our world becomes tainted
and the ones we're against
are the ones who can fight

They've taken everything
that we hold dear
and given only malice in return
They won't as much as
lend us their ear
no human emotion can they ever learn

Goodbye, goodbye Mister Fisherman
I see they've polluted your mind
don't bother to come back
to watch out demise
chances are we've
already died

Yet our rest is well-guided
no pain or distress to endure
you and your fellows
will fall in the end
for this small village
rest is ensured

They can't speak for us
but I can speak for them
they'll find their judgement
soon I swear it
soon I swear it
soon I swear they will
by the tip of my tongue
by the gleam of my sword
I swear they will
for they can't speak for us

(solo)

Goodbye, goodbye Mister Fisherman
I see they've polluted your mind
don't bother to come back
to watch out demise
chances are we've
already died

Yet our rest is well-guided
no pain or distress to endure
you and your fellows
will fall in the end
for this small village
rest is ensured

By the tip of my tongue
by the gleam of my sword
I swear they will
for they can't speak for us
