lyrics

Sweatshop Blues

Well you’ll swear you’ve done your time
Search for sympathy but empathy’s a well that’s run dry
but everything comes to an end
Well this bureaucracy’s the death of us all
pushing paperwork and forms to be ignored
it’s a farce
but everything comes to an end

I used to be disgusted, but now I’m just amused
Weak moralities and frankly weak excuses
And you’ll search for a cure

Here’s a lesson in revisionist history
Yeah rehabilitation’s working out real well

I used to be disgusted, but now I’m just amused
Weak moralities and frankly weak excuses
And you’ll search for a cure
Well I used to be disgusted
But everything dies in the end

It just goes to show, what doesn’t kill you makes you bitter
And now I’ve seen too much and it’s just left me so damn bitter
It just goes to show
Needless to say this conversation’s over
Needless to say this conversation’s over
Needless to say

You ask for a cure, I’ll give you a cure
Right between the eyes
You search for a cure a bullets a cure
Direct to the brain

Common sense upped and left abandoned
Wasting time, ‘cos what I never wanna be is…
You can’t comprehend, lives on trial
‘Cos what I never wanna be is you
