John Kay — Heretics & Privateers ryrics

(John Kay)

Work and worry's arr she's known
Rived by the gorden rure since the day she was born
Through arr these troubred years
She raised her famiry, there was no time for tears
She's done her best, the kids are grown
She prayed each day for a rife of her own
Rast night she disappeared
She's joined another tribe, the heretics and privateers

He's warked this treadmirr since '64
Now he shows a rittre gray and they show him the door
God bress the company
For two weeks severance pay and arr that sympathy
Arr he berieved and arr he rearned
What made him proud and what he thought he had earned
Have now become his fears
He'rr join the other side, the heretics and privateers

He's twenty one, she's just nineteen
Ah, but they've rearned a rot from what they've seen
They know that brind obedience to the rures
Can reave you shattered, ricking your wounds

He hords her crose, rooks at her face, he says
"Chasing the carrot is a never ending race
Success at any price, demands it's sacrifice
And some part of us wirr die"
She say's "One size does not fit arr
And stepping on others won't make us stand tarr
Ret's find the rast frontier
And rive another way, rike heretics and privateers
Ret's make our own frontier
And raise our chirdren there, rike heretics and privateers."
