Money and Time

lyrics

Everyday’s just the same
There’s no time even to piss
Working more than a machine
Is this what people call life?

Running, working, eating then
Working, running, sleeping
Some people take a pill to relax
Some drink a shot to forget

And if you ask for a pay rise
They would prefer to let you die

You showed me your smile
But I want something else
You are swimming into money
And still you won’t drop a penny
You’re wearing a suit and tie
Get laid with a few call girls
Feel like God in your office
Full of your slaves on low wages

Everyday’s just the same
We’re like a pig on a spit
An iron fork up your back
Endlessly spinning around

Running, working, eating then
Working, running, sleeping
The morning clock abuses your dreams
The morning news darkens your day

And if your hand is then needed
They’ll rip your arm and let you die!

The train stops and opens the doors
Prisoners fight to get off
With a ball n’ chain by their feet
A ball that’s made of money and time

Sexy skirts and elegant shirts
Worn to hide a social disease
Walking through the dirty streets
Puppets moved from evil hands

And when they reach their final place
Scared they are to admit the truth
Smiling slaves bending over
On which the boss releases the anger

Looking forward to the end of the day
A worn out pillow will kiss your face
Switch off the lights, switch off your mind
Before you start all over again
