The Legacy (76)

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

2

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
