Ian Gillan
A Castle Full of Rascals
[Verse 1]
Nothing here for me today
Garbaggio from the men in grey
Don't do this, you can't do that
What's the point, what's the matter, anyway?
Fat cat's licking cream
Dirty business, hard and mean
You got narrow eyes, hungry days
There's got to be a better way
[Verse 2]
Something here about my face?
Something make you think I got time to waste
Whatcha doin' standing there?
Why don't you call someone who cares
Fat cats all the same
Easy answers, just a game
Another day, nothing changes
There's got to be a better way
Got to be a better way
[Bridge]
A glistening of questioners prepared the inquisition
While jackals in the shadows manoeuvre for position
A fundament of righteous men, a barrow ideals
The carriage of misjustice crushes all beneath it's wheels
Conspiracies of silence within the temple walls
Graveyards full of promises that no-one can recall
A castle full of rascals, a fortress full of thieves
A parliament of silver tongues that flatter to deceive
[Organ Solo]
[Verse 3]
Oh, my darling Carolina
Get the chance to walk behind her
She's so clean, you see no splash
Just the Texas chainsaw massacre
Fat cat's got to go
I'm rockin' and a-rolling
From my headache to my toes
She's trying to set the world on fire
Up there in her Ivory tower
[Outro]
Oh, there's got to be a better way
Oh, there's got to be a better way
Got to be a better way
[Guitar Solo]
