So the floor are kicking off because of choices being made
And told they should be sweating more for what theyre being paid
So they stop the productivity and push against the plans
You know theyre not machines when your confronted with demands
The papers should report it because we cant afford it
I took a knock of 5 grand now im fucked
Ive got kids to keep, you know a family dont come cheap
You try to take it too far now the both of us are stuck
They want the cogs to turn but never make a sound x2
And if they wanna keep making then theyve got to understand
The face cant be taken from the feet or the hands
The value of the capital is their priority
So people the generating it must surely be the key
So why then take the risk of trying to tighten up the rein
Just because the hours are clockwork doesnt mean they dont have brains
You should read all about it and dont you ever doubt it
Your shiny beemer doesnt make me less involved
If your wanting this then mister you cant take the piss
If your accept you need us then well get the problem solved
They want the cogs to turn but never make a sound x2
And if they wanna keep making then theyve got to understand
The face cant be taken from the feet or the hands
They defy united as they try
And standing on the picket line
We start to hear them cry.
We're not a number sitting on a page and we're not gonna settle the minimum wage.
(Till end)
