lyrics to "The Crack"

[scotto]

Hey, how sure are we about the lyrics to "The Crack" up on the site? Is there a particular source? For example, I could be wrong, but always thought the opening verse was "Since time immemorial, or for more than a thousand years, the [?] of this economy seems to me, the hunter and the hunted" and the next verse "Despite your assurances that we live in a fairer world, still seems fair to say to me, it's plain to see, it's evidently exploiter and the exploited." Maybe my hearing's bad.

If there is no source for the "molecule" lyrics, maybe we can collaborate on figuring the lyrics?

The lyrics for 'The Crack' on the Redskins website were done by Eric Blowtorch. The Smashcasters also came up with a different set of lyrics for their cover of 'The Crack' on the Redskins tribute album 'Reds Strike The Blues'.

The lyrics for most of the Redskins songs were printed on the inside cover of the Neither Washington Nor Moscow album but not the ones for 'The Crack'. The song didn't even appear on the track listing (unless you have a German pressing of the album) and was even completely missed off the CD re-issue. Last year I did ask Redskins bassist Martin Hewes what the lyrics were but he couldn't remember.
