lyrics

Oh, you chip away at me.
You play away. You chip away at me
and everything you ever say to me
is terminology that I just do not understand.

Oh, my neck is hung dead on the FTSE 100.
You mutate the figures ‘till they sing
the song you programmed in and planned all those decades ago.

There are ghosts in these machines!
There are statistics in my dreams!
You are hardly any men. I am the 99%.

Oh, you got a bonus
from the men who think they own us.
I will strike you on the other cheek.
You turn to me ironically and you held out your hand.
