Regulation Overkill
Rules and regulations that break us up inside
Just another hardship when you're barely squeaking by
Lambs to the slaughter we shudder and we graze
Like a baby to her mother, we blindly disobey
People, people how can I make you see
Not just a puppet that you dangle on a string
Regulation overkill has got me under pressure
Know I wasn't born to pay the price for what you measure
Our lives are out of balance or haven't you heard
You make us fight your battles then censor every word
You've taken every pleasure that we treasure in our lives
What once was opportunity now the struggle to survive
People, people how can I make you see
Not just a puppet that you dangle on a string
Regulation overkill has got me under pressure
Know I wasn't born to pay the price for what you measure
Like a brute without mercy, you meddle and connive
You club me and you curse me interfering with my life
Have a little dignity stop acting like a child
Show some compassion once in a while
Is this all there is I mean who makes the rules
Bureaucrats and diplomats who march in time like fools
Rich folks get the gravy the poor whatever's left
Send us round in circles till we run right out of breath
People, people how can I make you see
Not just a puppet that you dangle on a string
Regulation overkill has got me under pressure
Know I wasn't born to pay the price for what you measure
Just another hardship when you're barely squeaking by
Lambs to the slaughter we shudder and we graze
Like a baby to her mother, we blindly disobey
People, people how can I make you see
Not just a puppet that you dangle on a string
Regulation overkill has got me under pressure
Know I wasn't born to pay the price for what you measure
Our lives are out of balance or haven't you heard
You make us fight your battles then censor every word
You've taken every pleasure that we treasure in our lives
What once was opportunity now the struggle to survive
People, people how can I make you see
Not just a puppet that you dangle on a string
Regulation overkill has got me under pressure
Know I wasn't born to pay the price for what you measure
Like a brute without mercy, you meddle and connive
You club me and you curse me interfering with my life
Have a little dignity stop acting like a child
Show some compassion once in a while
Is this all there is I mean who makes the rules
Bureaucrats and diplomats who march in time like fools
Rich folks get the gravy the poor whatever's left
Send us round in circles till we run right out of breath
People, people how can I make you see
Not just a puppet that you dangle on a string
Regulation overkill has got me under pressure
Know I wasn't born to pay the price for what you measure
