Common Ground
On common ground the poisoned seed
Was sown in my country
They fenced me in and took away
The things that belonged to me
With a chill in my heart I knew
They did it to me, they'll do it to you
So child you must fight, fight
The softest hands have sealed the fate
The roughest ones would never make
A promise on the ground we stand
A bloody line in the sand
The pen and the sword be damned
What a piece of work is a man
So child you must fight, fight
They made us eat the tainted crop
We had a taste and couldn't stop
So sick with hate for what they'd done
Too late for me your time has come
The pen and the sword be damned
What a piece of work is a man
So child you must fight, fight
On common ground the poisoned seed
Was sown in my country
They fenced me in and took away
The things that belonged to me
With a chill in my heart I knew
They did it to me, they'll do it to you
So child you must fight, fight
Was sown in my country
They fenced me in and took away
The things that belonged to me
With a chill in my heart I knew
They did it to me, they'll do it to you
So child you must fight, fight
The softest hands have sealed the fate
The roughest ones would never make
A promise on the ground we stand
A bloody line in the sand
The pen and the sword be damned
What a piece of work is a man
So child you must fight, fight
They made us eat the tainted crop
We had a taste and couldn't stop
So sick with hate for what they'd done
Too late for me your time has come
The pen and the sword be damned
What a piece of work is a man
So child you must fight, fight
On common ground the poisoned seed
Was sown in my country
They fenced me in and took away
The things that belonged to me
With a chill in my heart I knew
They did it to me, they'll do it to you
So child you must fight, fight
