"Come all you brave fellows, take warning by me, never fear master wherever you be" - Anon

lyrics

Blank stare into the midday sun
Lost in the machine
Of the productions hum
The creator of labour
What treats she brings
The conveyor belt makes light work
Of useless things
Made of callous formed hands
That are hard to touch
Ruined by the labour
Of not very much
Imagine freedom
Imagine a time long gone
When skills were our own
And the clock hands long
Now with every tick
Left grieving for time
Seeking a sense of freedom
From the production line
Pieced together like muscle and bone
Hear the murmur of the workers drone
A grit filled lung
Splutters and whirrs
The odious becomings of a usable purse
Gnawed and chewed away
As the days pass by
Enslaved to the rape and the pillage of life
Skill removed by metal arms
Time dictated by ringing alarms
Circuit brains and a masters word
Flesh and metal increasingly blurred
