Early every year the seeds are growing
Unseen unheard they lie beneath the ground
Would you know before the leaves are showing
That with w**ds all your garden will abound
If you close your eyes stop your ears
Hold your mouth how can you know
The seeds you cannot see may not be there
The seeds you cannot hear may never grow
In January you've still got the choice
You can cut the w**ds before they start to bud
If you leave them to grow higher they'll silence your voice
And in December you may pay with your blood
Close your eyes stop your ears
Close your mouth and take it slow
Let others take the lead and you bring up the rear
And later you can say you didn't know
Everyday another vulture takes flight
There's another danger born every morning
In the darkness of your blindness the beast will learn to bite
How can you fight if you can't recognize a warning
Close your eyes stop your ears
Close your mouth and then you know
Let others take the lead and you bring up the rear
And later you can say you didn't know
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 that's fallen in the hole
It's all right for you if you run with the pack
It's all right if you agree with all they do
If the fascist's party slowly climbing back
It's not here yet so what's it got to do with you
The w**ds are all around us and they're growing
It will soon be too late for the knife
If you leave them on the wind that around the world is blowing
You may pay for your silence with your life
Close your eyes stop your ears
Close your mouth they're never there
And if it happens here they'll never come for you
Because they'll know you really didn't care
