lyrics

WHEN THE TIME COMES

71 foreign men in chains
it's got to be a crime to have those names
it's got to be a crime to be that faith
at least enough to rile and implicate
and your eyes will not see fit
to pass judgement while you spit
but there can be no spills if not without some stains
71 foreign men in chains.

75 women in a cage
it's got to be a crime to be their age
wondering how love turned into doubt
in the same room when all the lights went out
so choose a novel and bring it home
you read it twice to feel less alone
all the same it's hard to disengage
75 women in a cage.
When the time comes
lay down your hands
I will know what to do
so fold it in your arms
'cause when the time comes
I will know what to do.

75 children in a cage
and just as many drawings on the page
the cat, the cow, the fiddle and the moon
the dish will only feed the silver spoon
and although the king's men tried
it was way too much to hide
so rub your eyes now it's time to come of age
74 children in a cage.
