SUCKED IN FOR A BUCK
try to work hard at this dead end job
going nowhere it keeps wearing me out
round and round till the money comes in
friends of the Boss get a big foot in
dicks with boots two sizes too big
dominate this place with big foot prints
more like a hospital run by the sick
with hungry banks and far away trips
bark like a dog with a dry bone
save for a deposit on a subdivided home
staff party with beer and a sneaky grin
terminate the contract leave this thing
for a dollar more I watched them rise
they need structure in their structured lives
to stand on something absolute
quietly crushing colour underfoot
what's the stress worth worrying for
masters don't care they just need more
it's their wealth we facilitate
eating scraps but we filled the plate
(chorus)
sucked in for a buck to pay the bill
doesn't pay to question it all
