Enclosure 1764 Songtext
They hang the man and flog the woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
Yet they let the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose The law demands that we atone
When we take things, we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine
The poor and wretched don′t escape
If they conspire the law to break
This must be so but they endure
Those who conspire to make the law
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back.
Who steals the goose from off the common
Yet they let the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose The law demands that we atone
When we take things, we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine
The poor and wretched don′t escape
If they conspire the law to break
This must be so but they endure
Those who conspire to make the law
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back.
