Slaving Away

I am machinery
I am the industry
I'm productivity
I am efficiency
It is hereditary
I am a cog

I am expendable
I am replaceable
I am saleable
I am dispensable
How unsustainable
I am your lap dog

Slaving Away
Paving the way
For the next generation
To do the same rotation
Cos I'm slaving away
Slaving Away

They are the superheroes
Superheroes
And we sure fear those
Fear those
With great authority
Authority
We're the majority
Majority
Yet their priority
Priority
Is austerity
Austerity

Napoleon's always right
Always right
And I will work harder
Work harder
They blame the aliens
Aliens
Unknown civilians
Civilians
Once model citizens
Citizens
Now are supervillains

Slaving Away
Paving the way
For the next generation
To do the same rotation
Cos I'm slaving away
Slaving Away

It's just the cycle of life that God created
The cycle of life that God created
When I'm done they'll burn me down
It's better off than being in the ground
Use my flesh and bone for good
For building adhesive and for food
Woo

Slaving Away
Paving the way
For the next generation
To do the same rotation
Cos I'm
I'm
I'm slaving away
Slaving Away
