Peasant Paradise

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain

I take a look at the soil, and realise it needs rain

But I've been milling and farming so long

That even my lordship thinks that my mind is corn

But I hast never crossed a Lord that ne’er deserved it

Me, be treated like a serf? Well that’s actually heard of,

Take heed what thou be prating, where thou be striding,

Or thou and thine maidens might be for a lashing,

I surely hate the King but I gots to work,

As I plough, yonder village going up in smoke

Fools, I'm the kind of Farmer little ruffians try to be like

On thine knees in the night, sowing wheat by the moonlight

Been spending most thine life living in a peasants paradise

Keep spending most my life living in this feudal paradise

Keep spending most our lives living in this feudal paradise

Look at the situation my lordship hath me facing

I can't live a normal life, thou was’t raised by the wheat fields

So I have to be strong for the plough team

But too much maiden watching has me chasing dreams

An uneducated fool with groschen on my mind

Got my scythe in my hand and a gleam in my eye

I'm a burned out peasant, but I still fly the banner

Yet my grindstone’s wet so don't arouse my anger

Fools, death art nothing but a plague rat away

I'm living life plough or die, what can I say?

I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24?

The way the plague is going, I don't know…

Been spending most thine life living in a peasants paradise

Keep spending most my life living in my lordship’s paradise

Keep spending most our lives living in my lordship’s paradise

Ploughing for the wheat, milling for the flour,

Minute after minute, hour after hour

Everybody's watching, and half of them are starving,

“It's for the lordship’s kitchen!”, but I don't know what's cookin'

They say “thou should learn”, there’s no baker here to teach me

if I don’t understand it, who gonna feed me?

I know they can't, I know they won't

I know that buboes why I know my life is on the owt, fool!

Been spending most thine life living in a peasants paradise

Keep spending most my life living in my lordship’s paradise

Keep spending most our lives living in my lordship’s paradise
