Changin' Hands

[00:02.92] Oh, a million marching armies and a million marching men
[00:07.43] Have won the dark-skin countries and lost them back again
[00:12.63] But now the word has gone to every fallen land
[00:16.89] That this old world is changing hands
[00:20.75] From the master to the servant, from the owner to the slave
[00:25.59] Colonial days are buried in a deep and dirty grave
[00:30.24] It's so easy to see and well to understand
[00:34.79] That this old world is changing hands
[00:41.87] Hey, Washington and Jefferson and Patrick Henry, too
[00:46.08] They knew what they were doin' when they started somethin' new
[00:50.78] It was in this giant land of ours that it all began
[00:55.10] When this old world was changin' hands
[00:58.93] From the master to the servant, from the owner to the slave
[01:03.67] Colonial days are buried in a deep and dirty grave
[01:08.66] It's so easy to see and well to understand
[01:13.06] That this old world is changing hands
[01:17.91] Hey, when World War Two was rollin' by, the tide was on its way
[01:22.14] Many countries had to listen to the words they had to say
[01:28.22] And the word was spread to millions, all of yellow, black and tan
[01:32.57] That this old world was changin' hands
[01:36.41] From the master to the servant, from the owner to the slave
[01:41.05] Colonial days are buried in a deep and dirty grave
[01:45.68] It's so easy to see and well to understand
[01:50.03] That this old world is changing hands
[01:56.19] Now Africa and Asia and the Caribbean shores
[02:00.95] No longer can be counted as the spoils of the wars
[02:05.76] They were bought and sold together, now together they will stand
[02:10.11] 'Cause this old world is changing hands
[02:14.08] From the master to the servant, from the owner to the slave
[02:18.67] Colonial days are buried in a deep and dirty grave
[02:23.29] It's so easy to see and well to understand
[02:27.71] That this old world is changing hands
[02:31.80] That this old world is changing hands
[02:40.58]
