PARALYSED

Blinkered, paralysed
Flat on my back

They say our world is built on endeavor
That every man is for himself
Wealth is for the one that wants it
Paradise, if you can earn it

History is the reason
I'm washed up

Blinkered, paralysed
Flat on my back


What I wanted now just seems a waste of time
I can't make out what has gone wrong
I was good at what I did


And I'm the dupe

(I need a cheeseburger to go)
I move from one place to the next
I hope they keep down the price of gas
I shoot fast while you’re talking dollars
see how I will run the table
I won’t see my dollar go where they rig it
high numbers low numbers 8 ball break
the last cent is coming out of his head
to be honest or a son like his own
and all this changed we’re sure of the rides
the old country’s in the back of his mind
I hope his home is somewhere you go to sleep
high numbers low numbers 8 ball break
no classes in the u s of a
improve yourself the choice is yours
work at your job you can make it pay
make friends quick buy them beer
you never know when you’re gonna lose them
high numbers low numbers 8 ball break
I’m at the wheel of the company truck
on the road and all alone
sometimes I think money is my only goal
it makes me sad
work on up another four miles
coffee fries and a cheeseburger

Heads down, down to the floor
Run past the windows and close the door
Whatever you do stay calm
Show me a ditch and I'll dive it
I'll feel safe beyond the cares of the world

Good news is prospect
Excluding the six feet under

Marshall music the beat goes on
Get down down to the floor
Marshall music the beat goes on
Get down down to the floor

Get down down to the floor
Under the table with the radio on
Whatever you do stay calm
The cupboard is stocked, the door is locked
I'll feel safe beyond the cares of the world

Good news is prospect
Excluding the six feet under

Marshall music the beat goes on
Get down down to the floor
Marshall music the beat goes on
Get down down to the floor

Show me a ditch and I'll dive in it
Show me a ditch and I'll dive in it
Show me a ditch and I'll dive in it
Show me a ditch and I'll dive in it
I'll dive in it
I'll dive in it
I'll dive in it
I'll dive in it

Heads down, down to the floor
Run past the windows and close the door
Whatever you do stay calm
Show me a ditch and I'll dive it
I'll feel safe beyond the cares of the world

Good news is prospect
Excluding the six feet under

Marshall music the beat goes on
Get down down to the floor
Marshall music the beat goes on
Get down down to the floor

I'll dive in it
I'll dive in it
I'll dive in it
I'll dive in it

Education is their business
Women to know that they are equal

Why work for love if it shows no profit
You'll only earn emotional losses
Wasting time a hole in the wallet

There is only one condition
Stay in bed or in the kitchen

Better not (you'll only earn emotional losses)
Disrupt their passions

Mirror reflect their teaching
Make up makes up for your nature

Make up makes up for your nature
You're for seeing and not for hearing
Their commands are in your interest

Why work for love if it shows no profit
You'll only earn emotional losses
Wasting times a hole in the wallet

Their commands are your interest
There is only one condition
You're for seeing and for the taking

Why work for love if it shows no profit
You'll only earn emotional losses
Wasting times a hole in the wallet

Better not (you'll only earn emotional losses)
Disrupt their passions

Education is their business
Women to know that they are equal
There is only one condition
Stay in bed or in the kitchen

The family's head gives orders
In the end, what he says goes
This system's well constructed
She owes him all she gets

The army has it's uses
In times of civil crisis
'Allo boys! Seen any action?
Hey boys, seen any... action?

Pull together with your mates
Against the common enemy
The Private's not born that way

The Private's not born that way
Guns take up all his time
With no job he'd be in a mess
Wanted action, gets some in

She pays him back in the bedroom
One step down from her leader
Obeys, or is punished
Like he obeys his bosses
