By Laurian Rhodes & Sluggo

lyrics

27 Devils Joking passing idle time
You see the left hand shuffles royals
While the right hand pours the wine

As a matter of distinction
They have borrowed from the truth
One’s a joker
One’s a harlot
She’s left swinging from a noose

She’s so precious, Don’t look left
Right hand holds the bible while the left one holds the whip
So precious, Don’t look left
The ship is slowly sinking as she plays the violin

Paying ten cents on the dollar
For every bushel they can steal
You may bite the hand that feeds you
But they’ll never make us kneel

For richer or for poorer
Feed the starving hungry beasts
Turned a corner on the truth
Set a table for the feast

But it’s alright, Don’t look back
Right hand holds the bible While the left one holds the whip
But it’s alright, Don’t look back
Hold your hammer and your sickle While she plays the violin

First up are the Bishops
With their bloody hooded robes
Next up are politicians
They’re left hanging by their throats
If empires are built by hawking
Children by the pound
That don’t explain
The ruminations when they’re leaping from the ground

She’s so precious, Don’t look left
Right hand holds the bible while the left one holds the whip
So precious, Don’t look left
The ship is slowly sinking as she plays the violin

My give-a-shitters broken
Broken like the sea
When the waves come a crashing
A crashing down on me
