Lyrics

Pharaoh he sits in his tower of steel
The dogs of money are at his heel
Magicians cry, "Oh Thuth, oh Re"
We're all working for the Pharaoh
A thousand eyes, a thousand ears
He feeds us all, he feeds our fears
Don't stir in your sleep tonight, my dears
We're all working for the Pharaoh
It's Egypt land, Egypt land
We're all living in Egypt land
Tell me brother, don't you understand?
We're all working for the Pharaoh
Hidden from the eye of chance
The men of shadow dance to dance
We're all stuck into a trance
We're all working for the Pharaoh
The idols rise into the sky
Pyramids so sphinxes lie
Head of dog, Osiris' eye
We're all working for the Pharaoh
And it's Egypt land, Egypt land
We're all living in Egypt land
Tell me brother, don't you understand?
We're all working for the Pharaoh
I dig a ditch, I shape a stone
Another battlement for his throne
Another day on Earth is flown
We're all working for the Pharaoh
Call it England, you call it Spain
Egypt rules with a whip and chain
Moses, free my people again
We're all working for the Pharaoh
And it's Egypt land, Egypt land
We're all living in Egypt land
Tell me brother, don't you understand?
We're all working for the Pharaoh
Pharaoh he sits in his tower of steel
Around his feet the princes kneel
Far beneath we shoulder the wheel
We're all working for the Pharaoh
