Lyrics Common Ground - Stick in the Wheel

On common ground the poisoned seed
Was sown in my country
They fenced me in and took away
The things that belonged to me

With a chill in my heart I knew
They did it to me, they'll do it to you
So child you must fight, fight

The softest hands have sealed the fate
The roughest ones would never make
A promise on the ground we stand
A bloody line in the sand

The pen and the sword be damned
What a piece of work is a man
So child you must fight, fight

They made us eat the tainted crop
We had a taste and couldn't stop
So sick with hate for what they'd done
Too late for me your time has come

The pen and the sword be damned
What a piece of work is a man
So child you must fight, fight

On common ground the poisoned seed
Was sown in my country
They fenced me in and took away
The things that belonged to me

With a chill in my heart I knew
They did it to me, they'll do it to you
So child you must fight, fight
