Watch the time of day
See it slip away
From the moment you awake
The ladder is a snake
If we are what we eat
There’s blood on the street
A fistful of cake
It’s a sweet defeat
I take tea at eight
The factories can wait
My shoes are wearing well
In the place I call a cell
So bring me to my knees
Drive me underground
