Lyrics:
oh fear is old
please don’t yell at the train, just get aboard

oh we go forth
those who stay behind will be left on the shore

who could afford
not to be a part of what we’re pushing toward

over over over overlord,
over over over overlord

oh overlord
please don’t be magnanimous, protect your neck

oh overlord
marshal my desires to your call and beck

oh overlord
good outweighs bad as we approach perfection

over over over overlord,
over over over overlord

how can you try to help me?
how can you try not to help me?
help me, help me,
help me, help me!

oh overlord
take the ones below me and i’ll hold the sword

oh overlord
who could serve a master who sits over lord?

over over over overlord,
over over over overlord
over over over overlord,
over over over overlord

Overlord

Dj Kicks - Nightmares On Wax

I bought a house in the South
For my family and friends
It has a garden as big as Jamaica
We can put up some tents
Invite the friends of our friends
Declare our own independent state
Free of fear
Free of hate

Come to Pala
Take the shoes off your feet
Come to Pala
Come to Pala
Where the grapes are sweet
Come to Pala

No nine-to-five, more life
Basic income for all
It is a real version of Utopia
We speak with plants and trees
The teach us lessons of peace
We travel places deep inside
Free of fear
Free of hate

Come to Pala
Take the shoes off your feet
Come to Pala
Come to Pala
Where the grapes are sweet
Come to Pala

Come to Pala
Take the shoes off your feet
Come to Pala
Come to Pala
Where the grapes are sweet
Come to Pala

Come to Pala
Take the shoes off your feet
Come to Pala
Come to Pala
Where the grapes are sweet
Come to Pala
