As Strong As Samson
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum



Psychiatrists and lawyers destroying mankind
Drivin’ ’em crazy...and stealing ’em blind
Bankers and brokers ruling the world
Storing the silver and hoarding the gold

Ain’t no use in preachers preaching
When they don’t know what they’re teaching
The weakest man be strong as Samson
When you’re being held to ransom

Famine and hardship in true living colour
Constant reminders...the plight of our brother
Daily starvation our diet of news
Fed to the teeth with a barrage of views

Ain’t no use in preachers preaching
When they don’t know what they’re teaching
The weakest man be strong as Samson
When you’re being held to ransom

Black men and white men, and arabs and jews
Causing congestion and filling the queues
Fighting for freedom the truth and the word
Fighting the war for the end of the world

Ain’t no use in preachers preaching
When they don’t know what they’re teaching
Weakest man be strong as Samson
When you’re being held to ransom
