Can you hear the sound
Of the fiddle and the drum,
Passing them fade?
Can you hear the sound
Of chanting in the streets,
Screaming for better days?
You've heard it all.
Yes, we've all heard it all.
So tell me what has changed.
You've seen it all.
Yes, we've all seen it all.
So tell me what has changed.
And the palace stays the same,
Only the guards ever change.
So lay me down, lay me down,
Lay me down, lay me down.
And you've heard the singer
Sings protest songs.
Telling us what is wrong.
And you've read the books
That say where to look.
Well where's the answers gone?
And you've seen it all.
Yes, we've all seen it all.
So tell me what has changed.
You've read it all.
Yes, we've all read it all.
So tell me what has changed.
And the palace stays the same,
Only the guards ever change.
So lay me down, lay me down,
Lay me down, lay me down.
