Robber Baron Lyrics

Aurelio Voltaire Robber Baron

Of all things malign
An accident on the assembly line today
Cut him to the bone
But what can you expect
From clumsy eight-year old's I'm told?
Look outside the window
You see the growing crowd of kids
With missing arms and feet? nothing to eat?
What cold-heartless beast can sit and have his feast?
Every night while their plight's always in his sight

Robber Baron in the tower
Counting all his gold
You know while he goes unchecked and stays in power
He's never gonna let, never gonna let, never gonna let us go

Marching in the streets
The Mighty hammer of the Baron's own police
With their flags and guns, and guns, and drums
And boots, and blood red banners, dogs and guns
Blackshirts pound the pavement with the bold insignia
Of wolves and bats and snakes and birds of prey
Filling us with fear
Our hearts are full of tears
Who's so vain? For his game? Causing so much pain?

Robber Baron in the castle
Basking in his creed
You know while he breaks no sweat and gets no hassle
He's never gonna let, never gonna let, never gonna let us free!

Robber Baron in the tower
Counting all his gold
You know while he goes unchecked and stays in power
He's never gonna let, never gonna let
WHAT DO YOU WANT? (FREEDOM!)
WHEN DO YOU WANT IT? (NOW!)
Only we can make us free!
