lyrics

I love you wage slave but this country's cold. This country is cold you say it's what we've got. But rather than watch you work your fingers down to the bone, I would kidnap you and make you my own....possession. But if we were floating in a socialist zeppelin, my leftist Brethren could offer you protections. I'd still be a parasite cause I'd still be an artist. You know, I would nearly kill to see which system fucks us hardest.
I love you wage slave but this country's cold. This country is cold you say it's what we've got. But rather than watch you work your fingers down to the bone I would kidnap you and make you my own. My father told me it is perfectly simple. Don't outrun the monster, just outrun the people. That's a dastardly solution. That's a Big Red Herring, but I haven't got a better one that wouldn't call for sharing.
I love you wage slave but this country's cold.....is that the shadow round your eyes, is that the shadow on your heart or are you tired from your day and now I've torn you apart?
