Some days i think it’s all a dream
The things i’ve done, the places that i’ve been
This life of mine seemed surreal at times
Wasted days and nights in someone else’s mind

Could it be i’m not for real?
I’ve slapped my face to check out how i feel
There’s hostages to prove it’s true
Who lives behind the mask was never proved

Come on robert johnson
Though we’re worlds apart
You and i know what it’s like
With the devil in our heart
You sold your soul at the crossroads
Kept a little of mine on hand
I’m wading out this muddy water
Been stranded in the wasteland

Rattling chains all around my bed
Ghosts can laugh but they’re already dead
I’m not dying and i’m far from gone
The blues man spent his candle but his pain lives on

Said the party to the ad-man
We’ll conjure up a gimmick
The way to lead an ass
Is with a carrot and a stick
Dig down for minorities
Promise them concessions
Ride in on their backs
And then teach them all a lesson
Unemployment means depression
You’re just victims of the recession
We can count on their support
If we can channel their emotions
(chorus)
Populate the wasteland
Between leisure and the grave
Work and pray and place your vote
And some day you’ll be saved
All these myths come tailor-made
To suit the company director
Myths that praise the dignity
Of cheap, disposable labor
Two different routes
To an industrial heaven
Work for boss and parliament
And all will be forgiven
It’s the fear of being sacked
That lets the boss step up the pace
Because the minute you step out of line
There’s someone took your place
(repeat chorus)
Said the mp to the media
Can’t we juggle this around
Sprinkle sugar on the dog shit
And we’ll keep the figures down
Never let the left hand
See what’s in the right
No-one’s any wiser
And the problem’s out of sight
Take your democratic choice
Take a scheme or starve
Job clubs, restart, yts, cps, eas
Company profits doubled
Wages chopped in half
(repeat)
(repeat chorus)
Offer your life to the one true church
In the name of the conservative party
The labor party
And the liberal alliance
The promised land where banks outnumber churches
And your cars shall be martyrs to the cause
Capitalism in crisis
But on the third day it shall rise again
But on the third day it shall rise
