The
Legacy (76)
1
Red
Riding Hood, I’m sorry
To
hear granny is now dead
The
wolfhound didn’t eat her
But
old age killed her instead
You
inherit granny’s cottage
I
come free, a general hand
With
a German motorcycle -
It’s
a Horex looking grand
Well
it has an open sidecar
Granny
used to gather wood
So
she might survive the winter
Keeping
warm and looking good
As
with any combination
Find
a nice deserted track
Since
to ride a combo safely
You
will need to get the knack
Chorus
Granny
gave us her religion
A
fine treasure built on deed
So
more valid than a sermon
That
sees God inside a creed
To
be scornful of the needy
Or
to make fun of their plight
Is
a trick used by the wealthy
To
convince us greed is right

Red
Riding Hood, I’m happy
To
open your Granny’s plan
It’s
about saving this planet
From
the very worst in man
It
will certainly take an effort
There
can be no other way
Than
a cultural revolution
To
reverse moral decay
We
can load our motorcycle
That
was used to carry wood
With
the kind of honest values
That
stand out as fine and good
Add
to this ethics from Heaven
And
fine virtues once conveyed
With
tradition in the background
And
respect for what God made
Chorus
Granny
gave us her religion
A
fine treasure built on deed
So
more valid than a sermon
That
sees God inside a creed
To
be scornful of the needy
Or
to make fun of their plight
Is
a trick used by the wealthy
To
convince us greed is right
The
End
