Song of Choice A5 Early every year the seeds are growing A5 D5 A5 Unseen, unheard, they lie beneath the ground A5 Would you know before the leaves are showing D5 G5 A5 That with weeds all your garden will abound. E5 If you close your eyes, stop your ears, A5 E5 Hold your tongue, how can you know. A5 For seeds you cannot see may not be there D5 E5 A5 Seeds you cannot hear may never grow A5 G5 A5 In January you've still got the choice C5 D5 E5 You can cut the weeds before they start to bud A5 C5 D5 If you leave them to grow high they'll silence your voice. E5 A5 G5 A5 And in December you may pay with your blood. Chorus A5 E5 So close your eyes, stop your ears, A5 E5 Close your mouth, take it slow. A5 Let others take the lead and you bring up the rear, D5 E5 A5 And later you can say you didn't know. Ev'ry day another vulture takes flight There's another danger born ev'ry morning In the darkness of your blindness the beast will learn its bite How can you fight if you can't recognise a warning? Today you may earn a living wage Tomorrow you may be on the dole Though there's millions going hungry, you needn't disengage For it's them not you, who've fallen in the hole. Today the soldiers took away one Tomorrow they may take away two While April they took away Greece But surely they will never take you? It's alright for you if you run with the pack It's alright if you agree with all they do If fascism is slowly climbing back It's not here yet, so what's it got to do with you? The weeds are all around us and they are growing It will soon be too late for the knife If you leave them on the wind that around the wind is blowing You may pay for your silence with your life. So close your eyes, stop your ears, Close your mouth, and never dare And if it happens here they'll never come for you, Because they know you really didn't care.
