The Axe
U.K. Subs

You lit a fuse

And then you ran away

You cried all day

When the axe came down



You pay your money

You take a chance

But now you do a different dance

And there’ll be no pipers playing

When the axe comes down



You said the streets of the city

Were paved in gold

But you were bought and sold

Before the axe came down



You ran the gauntlet

You ran from the law

But you ran outta luck

When the axe came down



Now I can’t tell you why

The martyrs had to fry

Some say it’s just an act of God



Who dares wins

Who hesitates has lost

And now you pay the cost

When the axe comes down



And all you paid up Republicans

Who live by the gun

Your time will come

When the axe comes down



But every generation

Just filled with hate

Running from the blade

When the axe comes down



The architects and draftsmen

Who build the brave new world

They’ll call for your blood

When the axe comes down
