| Cruel Power ~ Music by Holly Reed ~ Lyrics from Ben Gunn's poem "The Vagrancy Law" When laws are made by men of wealth Do they consider the poor man's health Do they even think of the poor man's fate When they're stealing the crumbs right from the mouths of babes We must rise up, rise up and fight Stand up, stand up for what is right Throw out those fiends of cruel power And take back this land before the final hour It was never meant for sinful men To wring a fortune from their kin To sell their souls when they make the laws That crush the poor as if with iron jaws Those heinous laws made for the few What on earth can a poor man do? Who has no gold to pay the tax And the burden is placed right on the poor man's back |
