Fountain of Brethren

from Lily Died For Love by Eric George

/

lyrics

I wanna take down the ministry of magic
The pureblood-loving 
Power-hungry bureaucratics
The Fountain of Brethren told a lie
 
I get the Prophet every day at half-past nine
If you can’t see the lies then you must be blind
Seems like the paper’s in the pocket of a cursed few
Just because the government says it 
Doesn’t make it true
 
You wanna run a school like a government camp
Teaching that some people aren’t worth a damn
Fearing those people you oppress like despots do
One of these days you gonna see what they can do
 
It doesn’t matter much to who you were born
What matters is who you become
Who’s to hold magic ain’t for you to decide
All you want it power and for that 
You need to divide
