Wage Limbo

you gotta drive ‘em down
its no good having higher wages
can’t afford better ways
you gotta drive ‘em down

When will the downtrodden rise?
When will they finally come up?
When will the rich quake in their shoes?
When will there be no more lies?

You gotta drive ‘em down
make everything as dumb as you can
can’t have ‘em getting too smart
you gotta drive ‘em down

so Marx is dead and I’m not well?
So why is it you’re afraid of us?
So do you know what anarchy really is?
So will I be going to your Hell?

You gotta drive ‘em down
encourage ‘em too hate each other
fan the flames of bigotry
you gotta drive ‘em down

How low can you really go?
How do you think we live?
How about you take a pay cut?
How about scratching the wage limbo?

You gotta drive ‘em down
can’t live the high life without them
such a well kept nasty secret
you gotta drive ‘em down
