John Ball (1335-1381): "When Adam delved and Eve span, who was the nobleman? [verse1] I know it's utopia I know, a path so far Someday we must march To stew in the count's clothes [verse 2] Always new hope Again and again peasant revolt See hollow pairs of eyes Staring at the tower of corpses [bridge] Corpses call my name: "Avenge our bitter plight" This night, they will die First the count's brood
[verse 3] Even if we all Sink in curses We will still Drink the blood of the counts [chorus] I know it's a utopia I know, a path so far Someday we must march To stew in the prince's clothes
