You tell me there's a Pharaoh in town,
And now the town has gone to the dogs.
You tell me he's a household name,
Only no-one has a house any more.
You tell me there's a way to cheat death,
and how you let him do what he wants.
I bet you say he never does wrong,
I don't know why you say it so much.
If all your children made it out alive,
why would you ever go back?
Take your Pharaoh, put him in a black sack,
Why don't you see for yourself.
You're living in an overturned boat,
You're waiting for a ladder to come.
But every time you try to give blood,
You somehow end up sucking it in.
If all your children made it out alive,
why would you ever go back?
Take your Pharaoh, put him in a black sack,
Why don't you smash him all up?
Give me the gun. (Repeated)
With all these riches put at your God's feet,
Why would you ever say no?
Why would you ever say no?
(?)
Why would you ever say no?
Why would you ever say no?
With all these people, laying down their whole lives,
Why would you ever say no?
Why would you ever say no?
Break your Pharaoh, throw him in the Red Sea!
I'm going to take it myself!
