about

Current world socio-economic issues

lyrics

V1
Hollow legs and a hat of straw
In a field soaked with your brother’s blood
They say no one’s above the law
But it don’t stop them from throwing mud

CHORUS
Cause they need a straw man
Who can rally the clan
Yeah they need a straw man
Need to finish what they began

V2
Cartoon eyes and sewn on mouth
Standing rigid in a furrow of sunflowers
They march north but turn south
Their sham plans change from hour to hour

CHORUS
Cause they need a straw man
Who can rally their clans
Yeah they need a straw man
Need to finish what they began

BRIDGE
Got to speak when spoken to
(but never react)
Gotta do what you been told to
(but never go back)

Repeat CHORUS x 2

V3
Check shirt and a pair of Nikey’s
Cross the road lookin for that better view
Who’s zoomin who now very likely
A flash rips the joint and splits it off into two
