Take Things into Our Own Hands (From "Treason: The Musical")

Take things into our own hands

Written by:Ricky Allan

We have been persecuted

First in the church and now our homes

We worked for a solution

But all we got was broken bones

It's time to take things into our own hands

First Queen Elizabeth now James

These royal puppets all the same

They need their subjects to comply

If you don't see things eye to eye

You've got to take things into your own hands

You sir your wealth has dwindled

From all the fines you've had to pay

Your family name in ruins

'Cause you don't pray in the same way

You've got to take things into your own hands

We need to think of a way to bring the whole ship down

From the edge of his throne we'll throw him to the ground

When he's on the floor we will pick up his crown

That's how you take things into your own hands

We'll think of a way to bring the whole ship down

From the edge of his throne we'll throw him to the ground

When he's on the floor we will pick up his crown

That's how you take things into your own hands

For years we fought and suffered

We thought we'd finally found our peace

His promises were empty

His words were nothing but deeeit

That's why we'll take things into our own hands

I once had influence and power but all that's gone and things turned sour

But we can make a real change

They'll only have themselves to blame

When we take things into our own hands

We need to think of a way to bring the whole ship down

From the edge of his throne we'll throw him to the ground

When he's on the floor we will pick up his crown

That's how you take things into your own hands

(Bring the whole ship down)

Take things into our own hands

Take things into our own hands

Take things into our own hands

Into our own hands
