THE BALLAD OF ED BROWN 

REMEMBER THE `OLE STORY, THE BALLAD OF ED BROWN

WHEN THOSE WAR PIGS CAME TO TEAR IT DOWN

BUT WHAT THEY CAME TO TAKE  … IS NOT THEIRS

IT BELONGS TO A BETTER WORLD

YOU CAN TAKE THE HOUSE, YOU CAN HAVE THE KEYS

BUT YOU’LL NEVER TAKE WHAT’S DEEP INSIDE OF ME

YOU CAN TAKE MY BUSINESS, YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL

COS THIS `OLE TURPIN HORSE HAS JUMPED THE WALL

SEEMS NO ONE CARES ‘BOUT WRONG OR RIGHT

SO SHORT ARE THESE DAYS, LONG IS THE NIGHT

YOU LIE ON YOUR CHAISE LONGUE

AND SIT IN YOUR COWARD’S CHAIR

AND ONLY GET UP …TO SACRIFICE CARE

YOU CAN HAVE THAT EMPIRE

YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL

MY OLE TURPIN HORSE WILL JUMP EVERY WALL

REMEMBER THE `OLE STORY, THE BALLAD OF ED BROWN

WHEN THOSE WAR PIGS CAME TO TOWN
