| if you find yourself standing |
| at the end of your line |
| looking for a piece of something |
| maybe a piece of mind |
| fed up, lost, and run down |
| nowhere to hold on |
| tired of, take your place at the end son |
| we’ll get to you one by one |
| no light ever shines |
| dead end tears that dry |
| maybe a waste of words and time |
| never a waste of life |
| every hour will be spent |
| filling a quota, just getting alonghandcuffs hurt worse |
| when you’ve done nothing wrong |
| no thanks to the treadmill |
| no thanks to the grindstone |
| there’s plenty of dissent from |
| these rungs below |
| the clockwork of destruction |
| hanging low over our heads |
| always a smokestack cloud |
| or a slow-walking death |
| no light ever shines |
| dead-end tears that dry |
| maybe a waste of words and time |
| never a waste of life |
| no thanks to the treadmill |
| no thanks to the grindstone |
| there’s plenty of dissent from |
| these rungs below |
| the clockwork of destruction |
| hanging low over our heads |
| always a smokestack cloud |
| or a slow-walking death |
| no light ever shines |
| dead-end tears that dry |
| maybe a waste of words and time |
| never a waste of life |
| maybe a waste of words and time |
| never a waste of life |
