Captains of Industry

We kick the bucket and they drink us dry

Non essential work down on supply

We till the soil and work the fields

Another twenty years

My fingers bleed

You've gotta believe it

It's gotta be seen to believed

A crisis of faith and and an honest mistake

It can break your resolve

This tattered life torn and despised

It can swallow you whole

At the mercy of this machine

Our price to pay

Our burden to bear

Taking liberties with an innocent lie

Just another cog in this infernal machine

Another fifty years for someone to see

You've gotta believe it

It's gotta be seen to believed

A crisis of faith and and an honest mistake

It can break your resolve

This tattered life torn and despised

It can swallow you whole

At the mercy of their machine

We're at the mercy of their machines

Shake hands (shake hands)

With the captains of industry
