PHARAOH

YUL BRYNNER

Going alone,going alone,going alone
Take that pharaoh.
Going alone,going alone,going alone
Take that pharaoh.
When the lights die down
You'll see them go.
Going alone,going alone,going alone
Take that pharaoh.
Going alone,going alone,going alone
Take that pharaoh.
When the lights die down
You'll see them go.
We are all living for the game
For the game
Oh, heaven is weeping.
We are all living for the game
For the game
Oh, heaven is weeping.
Please don't let my memory fail me now
'cause i've waited all this time
And i can't run another mile.
Oh, please don't let the world know now
Please don't let the world know now
We are all living for the game
For the game
Oh, heaven is weeping.
We are all living for the game
For the game
Oh, heaven is weeping...

Pharaoh he sits in his tower of steel 
The dogs of money all at his heel 
Magicians cry "Oh truth! Oh real!" 
We're all working for the Pharaoh 

A thousand eyes, a thousand ears 
He feeds us all, he feeds our fears 
Don't stir in your sleep tonight, my dears 
We're all working for the Pharaoh 

It's Egypt land, Egypt land 
We're all living in Egypt land 
Tell me, brother, don't you understand 
We're all working for the Pharaoh 

Hidden from the eye of chance 
The men of shadow dance a dance 
We're all struck into a trance 
We're all working for the Pharaoh 

The idols rise into the sky 
Pyramids soar, Sphinxes lie 
Head of dog, Osiris eye 
We're all working for the Pharaoh 

And it's Egypt land, Egypt land 
We're all living in Egypt land 
Tell me, brother, don't you understand 
We're all working for the Pharaoh 

I dig a ditch, I shape a stone 
Another battlement for his throne 
Another day on earth is flown 
We're all working for the Pharaoh 

Call it England, you call it Spain 
Egypt rules with a whip and chain 
Moses free my people again 
We're all working for the Pharaoh 

And it's Egypt land, Egypt land 
We're all living in Egypt land 
Tell me, brother, don't you understand 
We're all working for the Pharaoh 

Pharaoh he sits in his tower of steel 
Around his feet the princes kneel 
Far beneath we shoulder the wheel 
We're all working for the Pharaoh
