lyrics

NO REST FOR THE WORKIN' MAN

Taking orders without seeing
Constant movement without meaning

Keep your dead down
Never look your rulers in the eye
Worship the crown
Dont speak out unless you wish to die

Fall into line
Dont break the line

Don't break the routine
It's the monotony that keeps us safe
You're simple machines
Just keep working and you'll know no strafe

Fall into line
Dont break the line
Fall into line
Dont break the
Line

If you can just work through the day
Well then everything will be okay
if you can just work through the night
well then everything will be alright

Just work those fingers
to the bone
And don't you fret
you're not alone
Your sons and daughters
take your place
new contestants
in the great rat race

(You'll make it to that island scene
Just keep up your daily routine)
It's all bull shit*
Just believe you'll live the dream
But don't wake up for then you'll see
It's all bullshit
It's all bullshit

Keep walking
Keep working
Keep slaving
Keep Behaving
Fall into line

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
