THE LAST FEW DAYS HAVE TAKEN A HEAVY TOLL
I SPIT TWICE AND STARE AT THE PORCELAIN BOWL
I WAS WOKEN UP THIS MORNING BY THE RADIO ALARM
AND FOUND THAT I HAD LOST THE CIRCULATION IN MY ARM
THE NEIGHBOURS' GIRLS PLAY CHOPSTICKS THROUGH THE WALL
NO CHANCE WHAT CHANCE HAVE I?
TO CHANGE THINGS WHY SHOULD I TRY?
IT'S DANGEROUS IT'S TURNING S0UR
WHAT EVERYONE WANTS IS MONEY AND POWER
WHAT EVERYONE WANTS IS MONEY AND POWER
A DEMONSTRATION A QUARTER OF A MILLION STRONG
I RUB MY EYES I KNOW THAT I SHOULD HAVE GONE
I LOOK INTO THE MIRROR I THINK I'VE GOT A CHILL
I'LL GO DOWN TO THE SURGERY NOT FEELING VERY WELL
THE NATIONAL NEWS STILL MANAGED TO PLAY IT DOWN
NO CHANCE
I HEAR THE DOOR AND REACH OUT TO FIND A TOWEL
I HAVE TO GO THERE'S NOBODY ELSE AROUND
I STAND THERE IN THE DOORWAY I KNOW I DON'T LOOK GOOD
IT'S ONLY MEN DELIVERING ANOTHER LOAD OF WOOD
OUR LEADER STILL WANTS BLOOD IN HER FINEST HOUR
NO CHANCE
WHAT EVERYONE WANTS IS MONEY AND POWER
