Lyrics

Say goodnight and go, she said Call back in the morning like the rest You sound so down my dear, don't you fret The line forms up at 8 come look your best A suit and tie will do for work Your fingers black and blue, type till it hurts An honest day's new pay, ease your troubled head You sleep a solid 6 and start again But with all these honest walks Taken on such dirty streets We're settling, on modest wage, on modest lives But still we talk, talk, talk on the lines How much bread will we receive? We're settling, upon the mouthful not the feast The morning comes too soon A rush of angry light fills up the room Hot coffee and the road take me To the place where everyone's waiting They're coughing up the smoke, as we stand In order, back to front, and man to man Tell me who is speaking up for me In the place where everyone's waiting But with all these honest walks Taken on such dirty streets We're settling on modest wage, on modest lives But still we talk, talk, talk on the lines How much bread will we receive? We're settling, upon the mouthful not the feast And if we work our way to another slice Well you know we’ll eat it slow And if we don't they'll take it anyway With no one speaking up Well I'm not surprised to see We're settling, on modest wage, on modest lives But still we talk, talk, talk on the lines Is this as good as it can be? We're settling on on an even smaller bite
