Common Ground

On common ground the poisoned seed

Was sown in my country

They fenced me in and took away

The things that belonged to me

With a chill in my heart I knew

They did it to me, they'll do it to you

So child you must fight, fight

The softest hands have sealed the fate

The roughest ones would never make

A promise on the ground we stand

A bloody line in the sand

The pen and the sword be damned

What a piece of work is a man

So child you must fight, fight

They made us eat the tainted crop

We had a taste and couldn't stop

So sick with hate for what they'd done

Too late for me your time has come

The pen and the sword be damned

What a piece of work is a man

So child you must fight, fight

On common ground the poisoned seed

Was sown in my country

They fenced me in and took away

The things that belonged to me

With a chill in my heart I knew

They did it to me, they'll do it to you

So child you must fight, fight
