Notes for a song

Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree
I sold you and you sold me.
Oh how they lie, and here lie we
Under the Spreading Chestnut tree.

In this society you see
We are divided...You and Me
And while they tell us "We are Free"
Our hatred is their Secret Key

(Key Change)
Oh come a day we'll realise
The power we have, how great the prize
We slaves begin to organise
To sweep away the power, the lies
       
No leaders meant to represent 
No princes, Popes or Presidents
The end of Cash, the end of rent
The end of war and the 1%

(Back to original key)
But surely we can't run the show?
We're greedy, selfish, dumb too slow
Its  Human Nature don't you know!
Our masters like to tell us so
 
Fuck Lenin, Stalin...Hitler too
How Socialistic were this crew?
John Lennon had a better view
Imagining his dream comes true
 
 Imagining his dream comes true
 
 Imagining his dream comes true
 
               Etc
