lyrics

Sing far your bones, far from class and name
The roots defy the harvest until laid bare as the grain

Sing far your bones, far from privilege and far from home
let nothing stir the dust around your ragged, ragged old throne

Sing far your bones, far from the hands of god
They’ll bury your first-born sons, they will bury your first-born sons

Sing far your bones, the cur biting at your heels
A dollar in the teeth he’s growing hungry for what he can’t eat

Sing far your bones, from the propertied men of wealth and grace

But when the streets become the rivers of the scouring flood
How much ground do you give, how much ground do you give

Just enough for the city
Just enough for the city
Just enough for the city
Just enough….to cover your bones
