Chipmunk

Sham 
  Yeah, you can call me that 
  As I walk with the Luddites and my crusty axe 
  I'm a whole lot removed from the Domini Pax 
  The pacts with the church and the new poll tax 
  I haven't got the pox, I've turned twenty-eight 
  My mate's thirty-one but he's dying from the plague 
  Life's a bitch right now and I can still hear the hills 

  Resonate 
  Watch my carbon vibrate mate 

  And I'm way down the mine 
  In another lifetime 
  But I don't how this canary keeps chirping 
  And my lungs are tight 
  When you've got to keep working 
  What's the point in life 
  There's a hundred miners here in the union 
  March through the manor while the owner takes communion 
  I'm going in to get my wage for last year 
  Plus a big bag of food 
  One of them big chandeliers 
  I affect the state and affect the earth 
  And pass my spirit on again 
  Until it's triggered by a birth 

  I resonate 
  You Resonate 
  I say echo 
  You vibrate 

  I'm in this for a better life 
  Staying clever 
  Got the soldiers on the hop 
  Slept in the oak tree 
  Raided a crop 
  They probably think I'm catholic 
  'Cause of my name 
  I caught the King's deer 
  They were giving me fame 
  And they heard about my antics 
  Up at the castle 
  When I didn't pay my taxes 
  Down came the hassle 
  They burnt my village and my family at the stake 
  I felt the whole ground shake 
  Why? 
  'Cause spirits resonate 
  They want my pagan head 
  Turn the hunters in my band and that's as good as it gets 

  We affect 
  You affect 
  Everybody move your molecules 
  From your nails to your follicles 
  Vibrate 

  It's eighteen fifty-six 
  I'm at the workhouse with my bundle of sticks 
  These people think I'm nuts 
  But they won't complain 
  When their lives get better cause of my campaign 
  Sabotage man with the Guy Fawkes precedent 
  Burn the city hall - smoke out the residents 
  Make a mark in my town and adjust my standard of living 
  Till my pitchfork rusts 
  Change the chain 
  Unchain all hands 
  Latter-day Scargill 
  I'll affect this land 
  I come in peace 
  From a small piece of dark 
  And I'm going back soon 
  So for now I'll make marks 

  Vibrate
