a lazarus soul - kingdom of stingers lyrics
[verse 1]
there was a man that would do you no harm
lived on his family century old farm
off of the radar and off of the grid
and other exemplary behaviour
then came a yank with a check in his hand
offered to purchase up all of his land
politely declining his home not for sale
his land was his love and his labour
[chorus]
thomas reid, thomas reid
your common clay comrade salutes you
[verse 2]
then came the representative of the state
claimed he was standing in progress’s way
thomas confers from inside of the gate
they wouldn’t stеp foot cross his border
look here now thomas in timе you will see
your kingdom of stingers a gold mine to be
but if that’s how you want it we’ll see you in court
we’ll get a compulsory order
[chorus]
thomas reid, thomas reid
gave the long finger to state sponsored greed
thomas reid, thomas reid
your common clay comrade salutes you
[verse 3]
green as he was hopped the bus into town
common surrounded by wigs and the gowns
feeling full sure when his time came around
he’d tell this proud land he’d been cheated
it’s not for the yank the belle state it ensures
so future investments be brought to den shore
the national interest is greater than yours
alone thomas reid was defeated
[chorus]
thomas reid, thomas reid
there was no price that could thwart his belief
thomas reed, thomas reed
your common clay comrade salutes you
[verse 4]
the supreme court loomed large hedsor house was at stake
from kellystown lane to the carton house estate
a play that was outside the powers of the state
was acquiring these lands for his neigbour
their buy is revealed and they weredn’t been frank
the opening proposal was made by the yank
an abuse of compulsory power so rank
the court had to rule in thom’s favour
[chorus]
thomas reid, thomas reid
gave the tall finger to state sponsored greed
thomas reed, thomas reid
your common clay comrade salutes you
[chorus]
thomas reid, thomas reid
what nature gives you is all that you need
thomas reid, thomas reid
your common clay comrade salutes you
