All the Machines Are Quiet |
We’re walking out |
We’re downing our tools |
This management |
They take us for fools |
All we’re asking is |
A living wage |
A living wage |
A living wage |
And now |
There’s nothing I can do |
I spend my days in dreams |
And join the endless queue |
So far from the machines |
All the machines are quiet |
I could scream |
All the machines are quiet |
I’ll take the kids |
To Chessington zoo |
The big gorilla |
He looks just like you |
Watch that tiger |
Pacing in his cage |
I feel his rage |
I feel his rage |
And now |
There’s nothing |
I can do |
I spend my days in dreams |
And join the endless queue |
So far from the machines |
All the machines are quiet |
I could scream |
All the machines are quiet |
The winter’s coming |
We need new shoes |
I’m selling the car |
I’m paying my dues |
The union bosses |
Tell us five more weeks — five more weeks — |
Five more weeks |
And now |
There’s nothing |
I can do |
I spend my days in dreams |
And join the endless queue |
So far from the machines |
All the machines are quiet |
I could scream |
All the machines are quiet |
