  • We all must beware of the yellow pearl
    The Yellow Pearl control, attack, attack, attack, attack
    Yellow Pearl
    It is foolish to venture into strange enchanted places
    If they aren't the places you want to be
    Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack
    Is what we lack
    We will arise
    We will control
    We will command
    We will patrol
    It is foolish under the guise of love and liberty
    That we should capitalize and rob and fell
    The poor for the socialistic tree
    We will arise
    We will control
    Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack
    Is what we lack
    That's what you lack
    We shall arise
    They will arise
    We shall control
    They will control
    We shall command
    They will command
    We shall patrol
    They will patrol
    We must fight back
    We will arise
    They will arise
    We will control
    We are now living in a situation
    Where that self same situation depends on the Yellow Pearl
    Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack
    Is what we lack
    We will arise
    They will arise
    We will control
    They will control
    We will command
    They shall command
    We will patrol
    They will patrol
    Arise
    Yellow Pearl's upon us now
    We must fight back
    We will arise
    They will arise
    We will control
    Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack
    Is what we lack
    Is what we lack
    Don't trust in Liberty
    To save your soul
    It is genocide to let liberty lose control
    Control
    We must decide
    Control
    We the Yellow Pearl we will control Writer/s: JAMES URE, PHILIP PARRIS LYNOTT
