See how they hollow out the world
Write bills like scripture and section it off
And we punch in, close the cash and do the rounds
And sweep up
But I want the nicest collar
The fancy letterhead
To be an inch above
To be the tallest pawn
Fighting for the scraps
On the corner office floor
There’ll be nothing left to take but I’ll want more
Wading in borrowed time
More trash on the heap
More coal on the fire
And when the dam explodes
We’ll swim in the pieces as they float their yachts
But I want the nicest car
The fancy letterhead
To be an inch above
To be the tallest pawn
Fighting for the scraps
On the corner office floor
There’ll be nothing left to take but I’ll want more
To be a precious piece
A cog in the machine
I fuel it with my blood
Take a litre out of me
If not I then someone else
So why can’t it be me?
Waiting in the wings
Marching ‘till the end
