The Lever
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.
Living your life like a bull in the trade
He doesn't know how it feels
Under my thumb like a bone under nail
She's in the know, how's it feel?
Live your life under machine guns
Canary down the mine
Maybe I'm on the lever
Maybe I'm on the lever
Maybe I'm on the lever
Spoiling my broth like a radio kid
Programmed computerised minds
Waving my luck under your nose
Like I found a four leaf clover
Live your life under machine guns
Canary down the mine
Maybe I'm on the lever
Maybe I'm on the lever
Maybe I'm on the lever
Turn the mirrors face the wall
Don't you feel a little weak?
And I'd catch you when you fall
But you're falling all the time
Do you need it anymore?
Or do you need a little more?
