	Story Behind the Song Saul on Ice John Ralston Saul is a Canadian historian and thinker whose insights into the self-serving and essentially paranoid world of experts and managers serves to articulate what many of us sense as we try to comprehend why it is that we feel trapped in so many ways in a society that purports to be free. Lyrics SAUL ON ICE In a world of liars and clever fools Telling the truth is breaking the rules Every corporate castrati, every bureaucrat Knows telling the truth aint where its at They think life is a game And we're just players on the board The more we seek to be heard the more we're ignored They say they have the overview And know more than us That we should sit down and be quiet At the back of the bus   Oh..Oh..Oh..Where did our Democracy go Can't you see We must be vigilant if we're to be free In the war of the classes, between modesty and greed Those who have so much seem endlessly in need In their gilded delusion, their ivory tower They hunger for wealth and they hunger for power Oh..oh..oh....   Propped-up politicians pose and they preen Like animated puppets in some Walt Disney scene While the corporate paymasters pull on the strings And it aint gonna stop until everybody's singin Oh..oh..oh...   Any native North American Who speaks from the heart Can easily tell you what went wrong from the start Every compromising treaty, every practical retreat Leads only to more and ends in defeat The principals of freedom so true and so tried For which so many ancestors suffered and died Are slipping away while we cover our eyes And we cover our ears and we lip-sync the lies Oh..oh..oh.....
