MEAT GRINDER
Every clock that you got
Tells the time of the plot
But your mirrors tell you nothing
Every break that you make
Shows they’re all on the take
And you got to keep on running

Why do they do what they tell you to
Why do you  do it at all
Why do you do what they tell you to
You know you’re riding for a fall

Every ruler’s a fool
That wants to trap you in school
You’re left with the lies they feed you
Then they get you a job
And you believe it is God
Telling you He really needs you

Why do they do what they tell you to
Why do you  do it at all
Why do you do what they tell you to
You know you’re riding for a fall

But the best joke of all
When you find you’re on call
Is you don’t know what you’re making
Shiny things are your king
And the money you bring
Means they’re gonna go on taking

Why do they do what they tell you to
Why do you  do it at all
Why do you do what they tell you to
You know you’re riding for a fall

Why do they do what they tell you to
Why do you  do it at all
Why do you do what they tell you to
You know you’re riding for a fall
