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
