lyrics

SOMEONE'S SLAVE
Radio heralds in another Monday morning
Sun shines through the unlined curtains bright
Last night's beer tastes stale upon your tongue
You're paying the price for another rock & roll night
Body's tired, bones all ache, you head throbs
Need to find a way out of your bed
Need to get to work to earn your living
Sick of feeling like the living dead

You're someone's slave for the next eight hours
You sell your soul and you do what you're told
You bite your tongue, collect your wages
But it's your self respect that has been sold

The daytime clock goes by so very slowly
The night time hours they race past
Time at work just seems to last forever
But weekend hours always speed by fast

You go to work in darkness, you come home and it's the same
The daylight comes and goes while you're in there
Your life is slipping quickly away from you
And every working day is just a pain
We all need to work to earn our living
But they screw you for everything they can
Leave you an empty shell of who you could be
We'd love to burn their fucking building down

You're someone's slave for the next eight hours
You sell your soul and you do what you're told
You bite your tongue, collect your wages
But it's your self respect that has been sold (x2)

In the meantime, Paul and John recruited the new duo and put them through their paces for several months of sweaty rehearsals.
