Lyrics
Pound of flesh-(richard handwerk)
‘Socrates’ had it right in the end
None were wiser than he
Ignored the advice of his friends
He was a better man than you, & me…
(instrumental)
‘Socrates’ gave his pound of flesh
livin’ in a world of mediocrity
His legacy survived his death
He was a braver man than you, & me…
oh-oh-oh…oh-oh-oh
(I cannot hear you)
oh-oh-oh…oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh…(oh-oh-oh)
(through the noise in my head)
oh-oh-oh…oh-oh-oh
(time never will free you)
oh-oh-oh…oh-oh-oh
(from the words
that you said)
(solo)
Socrates had a price to pay
letting honor rule the day
They offered him a drink instead
In a while he was dead
(chorus-& solo)
