Going Nowhere
Lyrics written by Neil O'Brien.
Your life is repetition
Being ground down for the pound
Like a hamster on it's wheel
You're just going round and round
Spend all day at work
To earn enough to pay your bills
But it's never ever enough
That's how capitalism kills
Cos they've got you coming and going
You've got to buy back what you make
You're over-charged in the shop while
At work you're under-paid
Can't you see the whole fucking system is rigged?
Like the Will o' the Wisp, yeah they're leading you on
With a carrot and stick, yeah, they're driving you on
But you're going nowhere
You're going nowhere
Can't you see you're not fucking going anywhere?
Aye, but you're saving for a house, you say
For a taste of the goodlife, a car and a holiday
And it doesn't occur to you how it's all related
Cos whatever you do, the Man has gotta be paid
Cos he owns it all! The banks The businesses!
Electricity! Water! The land! Even your fucking life!
