All The Machines Are Quiet

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

We're walking out

We're downing our tools.

This management

They take us for fools.

All we're asking is

A living wage

A living wage

A living wage

And now

There's nothing I can do

I spend my days in dreams

And join the endless queue,

So far from the machines,

All the machines are quiet.

I could scream

All the machines are quiet.

I'll take the kids

To Chessington zoo.

The big gorilla,

He looks just like you.

Watch that tiger

Pacing in his cage.

I feel his rage.

I feel his rage.

And now

There's nothing

I can do

I spend my days in dreams

And join the endless queue,

So far from the machines,

All the machines are quiet.

I could scream

All the machines are quiet.

The winter's coming

We need new shoes.

I'm selling the car,

I'm paying my dues.

The union bosses

Tell us five more weeks - five more weeks -

Five more weeks

And now

There's nothing

I can do

I spend my days in dreams

And join the endless queue,

So far from the machines,

All the machines are quiet.

I could scream

All the machines are quiet.
