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

but tell me what has changed

you've seen it all

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



you've heard the singer

sing proud their songs

telling us what is wrong



you've read the books

that say where to look

well, where's the answers gone



you've seen it all

yes, we've all seen it all

but tell me what has changed



but the palace stays the same

only the guards ever change

so lay me down
