Woke up this mornin’, sun blazin’ in my eyes
Them old gods gone missin’, no prayers, no alibis
Temple doors shut tight, statues turned to stone
Aten’s in the sky now, and I’m worshippin’ alone

I went out for a walk to sit down by the Nile,
and fish a little bit and just kick back a while.
But the foreman comes and says the boss has won the bid
on the contract to construct the pharaoh's pyramid.
So now I gotta spend my days out working for the man,
pushing giant blocks of stone across the burning hot sand.
I don't see why us peasants got to go and do this
just to help some bigshot's stupid heart impress Anubis.

No shade, no pay, just a tomb with a view,
And a thousand other workers feelin’ just like I do.

Yeah, my first thought was: Huh, I would have had Egyptians more into rock and roll.
