Render Us Harmless Animals & Men 1979

 A French band the Dictaphone are going to do a cover of this so asked me for the lyrics so I thought I would make a post about it. Our first self composed song to be recorded originally with me singing. 

Render us Harmless

They sit and watch their sales rise

We see our movement fall

For they contribute nothing

And  they will take it all

 

We see them take everything

And while they take they render us harmless

And while they take they render us harmless

 

We’re put in terms of pounds and pence

Turned into stocks and shares

Diluted for the wider taste and nobody  seems to care

 

Chorus

 

The critics hold the key card

Make values rise and crash

They contrive our work for what they want

And turn us into cash

Chorus
