You take it in turns to push the needles in
But was it all worth it when the cheque clears
Your ladies aren't turning once they're in their graves
Believing in nothing takes its toll
You do the best you can
For those who'll buy
Keep interests aligned
Get something for nothing but corruption's cost
I'm sure it's all worth it miserable
You'd see it all burning for the price of gold
'Til gravity breaks our fall
You do the best you can
For those who'll buy
Keep interests aligned
The contradictions kiss
Remain entwined
Demanded and supplied
Each man for themselves
Each man for themselves
Each man for themselves
You'd sell us all
Just to keep it running
Still paid in full
You'd leave us nothing
