UNDER THE THUMB song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

aint gonna live
under the thumb no more
and gonna be
blind deaf and dumb
and gonna burn
under the sun no more
aint gonna fade
into oblivion

they tell me I'm a slave
got nothing but a grave
but I won't be hung
under the thumb

I aint gonna be
under the thumb again
I got to be free
no use to pretend
they can't hold me down
they can't push me round
cause I'll break their bones
if they won't leave me alone

aint gonna be oppressed
I aint powerless
nobody gonna run me
under the thumb

if they push too hard
that won't be no solution
we'll break the iron bars
and have a revolution

we'll build a guillotine
for the living and the dead
and listen to them scream
for we chop off their heads

cause history repeats itself
no matter what you do
and power's never meant to rest
in the hands of the few

nobody wants to live
nobody want to give
their lives up for the rich
and wind up in a ditch

that's why we have become
the thing we have become
cause we refuse to live
under the thumb
