Leo: Sculptures

Screwed up parents are not unusual, like father like state,

The Lord moves in mysterious ways and don't put no faith in fate.

I'm happy to do the work if I'm paid the agreed wages,

But I aint gonna keep to no bargain if (when) I'm shafted by strangers,

Your concerns are no longer mine when the bargain's been blasted.

Time to take my own road, the high road, uncorrupted.

Chorus

I want what's mine, it is the time, a bargain has been struck,

She must repent, the time is spent, there is no more luck.

Bring me what is mine right now, and you'll hear from me no longer,

Give us what is ours right now for our powers grow ever stronger.

Time is all I have, I have no problem waiting,

Waiting is all I've ever done, waiting and a watching,

People come and go with their alms and arms,

People always go, sometimes, (oddly) without their arms!

Leaving a sorry and hollow place bereft of any charms.

No, I aint gonna sing another's tune no longer

As oft been said, what does not kill only makes me stronger

Time has come to choose my own instrument,

And the sword is as handy as the quill to this malcontent.

Oh! What does not kill only makes me stronger

And they've tried a million times to bring me in the ground,

I aint gonna work on any farm no longer, (no) I aint no battery hen,

(No) I can't work in no factory either, I've opted for the pen.

Chorus

It's time to stand up, stand up and be counted,

(As) I've told you (once) before I aint no paid up Marxist,

But as every schoolboy knows there's a facist (nazi) in every parky,

Unrestrained power goes only to the head,

And anything that comes between is going to end up dead.

A little bit of power goes directly to the head

The first step, but not the last stop, will land them in the bed,

The next, The Field, in any field of vision

At first restrained and then fuelled by the worlds derision.

So let us pool our strength and now work together,

End this tyrants hold, now and forever,

No longer cogs in another's wheel, or stepping-stones

The day has come, the time is ripe, we are not alone!

Chorus
