You'll never make the charts - charts - if you sing about repression
|
Cos pretending to be in control - in control - is a national obsession
|
Even when the self-control is let loose as aggression - aggression
|
"Oh you know he doesn't mean it man","It's is natural expression"
|
"It's is natural expression"
|
|
Some say the constant hammering is following the beat
|
And popsongs heard to pass the time will break up the routine
|
In some hazy day pre-radio you'd hear the hammers sing
|
Now they shout above the popsongs, go unnoticed and give in
|
Go unnoticed and give in
|
|
It claims to break up the routine, become a part of it - part of hit
|
But no signs of improvement in the way the hammers hit
|
You see the way the workers act when the chains relax a bit
|
Does it indicate their mental state as happy clean and fit?
|
Happy clean and fit?
|
|
After daylong happy tunes its prime reaction time
|
Blob out horizontal to the spectacle sublime
|
Replacing conversation space with pleasantries that rhyme
|
Have a good weekend folks, just make sure you're back by nine
|
Just make sure you're back by nine
|
|
So when the batteries went flat - flat - and the D.J. went off air
|
The atmosphere in the factory made everyone aware
|
They'd been replacing interaction with dependency on sound
|
So when the popsongs came back on they turned the whole thing down
|
So when the popsongs came back on they turned the whole thing down
