I'm up in Kafka castle
Waiting for the bill
Far away somebody's singing
Mansion on the Hill
I used to think I was OK
But now I know I'm ill
Man manipulated
Into giving up free will
You've got me waiting on a string
You've got me waiting on a string
And I think that I'm about to fall
Well there's no sense in denying
That we've come a long, long way
From Genesis and the spinning wheel
To the edge of judgement day
From Jesus Christ and politics
To democracy's decay
From freedom, love and equality
To Guantanamo Bay
Well it used to make me nervous
But now it makes me smile
I'm sort of looking forward to
The up and coming trial
Down and down and down we'll go
Chained up in single file
Down and down in dark alone
For many-a-many-a-mile
