Servants To The Hand

about

Servants To The Hand decries the rise in right-wing extremism over recent years. The repeated tagline “we know what you’re trying to sell us is fear” calls out widespread disinformation from right wing-media channels; disinformation that has stoked fear and hatred on issues ranging from immigration to equality to the validity of democratic elections.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Light a penny rose
For all the things you hear on the radio
Here we go again
Words of deception in the offering

[Verse 2]
It’s a phoney war
Servants to the hand that we cannot see
Over time
History repeats like a bad disease

[Pre-chorus]
But no, not this time
Power from truth to the other side
I say no, not this time
We are free from all your lies I say

[Chorus]
Wooah oh
Pull aside the curtain, your hand is revealed
Wooah oh
We know what you’re trying to sell us is fear

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Light a penny rose
For servants to the hand that we cannot see
Here we go again
History repeats like a bad disease

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus] * 2
We know what you trying to sell us is fear

[Outro]
Ba da da da da ba da da da da da da da da da da da da
Servants to the hand that we cannot see
