Şarkı sözleri
[Verse 1]
You all know the story
How it all began
It took five days
And then came man
[Verse 2]
All the land was free
And so were we
No slavery
To lead to poverty
[Verse 3]
Idle hands
Idle hands
Idle hands
[Verse 4]
Then they rose up fast
With their greedy schemes
Just killing, stealing, and taxing
Using any means
[Verse 5]
To disguise injustice
With so-called progress
And deny our people
Their right to happiness
[Verse 6]
Idle hands
Idle hands
Idle hands
[Verse 7]
Ooh-ooh, yeah
[Verse 8]
Now things get worse
With every year
You can't really live, no, no
When you live in fear
[Verse 9]
Whatever the effort
We always fail
While the whole world sleeps
The idle hands prevail
[Verse 10]
Idle hands
Idle hands
Idle hands
[Verse 11]
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 12]
Now, do you have the courage?
Do you have the will?
Do you have the guts now
To see a dream fulfilled?
[Verse 13]
Do you wonder why?
Tell me, do you give a damn?
Do you know what's meant
By the rights of man
[Verse 14]
Idle hands
Idle hands
Idle hands
[Verse 15]
Idle hands
Idle hands
Idle hands
Idle hands
[Verse 16]
Idle hands
Idle hands
Idle hands
Idle hands
[Verse 17]
Idle hands
Idle hands
