Generate meaning
1
My father he rides in your ships;
2
And I know he would never mean harm,
3
But to see both sides of a quarrel
4
Is to judge without haste or alarm
5
Chorus
6
Oh, oh, helpless and slow,
7
And you don't have anywhere to go
8
You take away homes from the homeless
9
And leave them to die in the cold
10
The gypsy who begged for your presents
11
He will laugh in your face when you're old
12
(chorus)
13
Well, one man he drinks up his whiskey
14
Another he drinks up his wine
15
And they'll drink till their eyes are red with hate
16
For those of a different kind
17
(chorus)
18
When the rivers run quicker than trouble
19
I'll be there at your side in the flood
20
It was all I could do to keep myself
21
From taking revenge on your blood
22
(2x chorus)
