Have attained to earthly power

Yet they all had their hour

As we witnessed behind our cages.

Whether this one's high or that one low

The load on our shoulders always grow.

Still the millwheel turns
Bm7(b5)C
It turns forever

Though what is uppermost

Remains not so.

Partitions - The Ballad of the Millwheel - Richard Desjardins (Accords et paroles )

Bm7(b5) C
In vain endeavor,
F
G
C
Does the work but always stays below.
Many are different masters
Who have ruled us in their day
Eagles, hyenas and tigers
Even swine have had their say.
Wich of them was better than the others?
Every boot's the copy of its brother.
Do you understand what's here intended?
We don't need no masters, we want all mastery ended.
Refrain
And they beat their heads
Till they are bloody
scrambling after booty.
Everyone calls the other "rascal"
And himself "the slave of duty".
Time has come away to speed them.
Each in lasting conflict with its brother.
Only our will that we won't feed them
Brings them to peace with one another.
Refrain
