Skin and Bone
Feeding from the scraps on the table
Getting by on Skin and Bone
Loose change in your pocket
Destination still unknown
Caught by metallic fingers
And a laser beam
Here comes the biggest T.K.O
The world has ever seen
An army of blue collars
Lined against the wall
Don't you know
It's the low hanging fruit
That always takes the fall
You said, 'Save for a rainy day'
But all it does is rain
Living by Skin and Bone
Sure does leave a stain
Called up the doctor
Can you help me please
Don't see no cure
For automation disease
Lead a man to water
But can't afford to drink
Put a price on everything
Except how I think
An army of blue collars
Lined against the wall
Don't you know
It's the low hanging fruit
That always takes the fall
You said, 'Save for a rainy day'
But all it does is rain
Living by Skin and Bone
Sure does leave a stain
Retired all the workers
Yeah, their time has past
When you tally the balance sheet
Flesh and bone don't last
Idle hands and the devil
Dark as a coal seam
Metropolis on steroids
The dystopian dream
An army of blue collars
Lined against the wall
Don't you know
It's the low hanging fruit
That always takes the fall
You said, 'Save for a rainy day'
But all it does is rain
Living by Skin and Bone
Sure does leave a stain
Getting by on Skin and Bone
Loose change in your pocket
Destination still unknown
Caught by metallic fingers
And a laser beam
Here comes the biggest T.K.O
The world has ever seen
An army of blue collars
Lined against the wall
Don't you know
It's the low hanging fruit
That always takes the fall
You said, 'Save for a rainy day'
But all it does is rain
Living by Skin and Bone
Sure does leave a stain
Called up the doctor
Can you help me please
Don't see no cure
For automation disease
Lead a man to water
But can't afford to drink
Put a price on everything
Except how I think
An army of blue collars
Lined against the wall
Don't you know
It's the low hanging fruit
That always takes the fall
You said, 'Save for a rainy day'
But all it does is rain
Living by Skin and Bone
Sure does leave a stain
Retired all the workers
Yeah, their time has past
When you tally the balance sheet
Flesh and bone don't last
Idle hands and the devil
Dark as a coal seam
Metropolis on steroids
The dystopian dream
An army of blue collars
Lined against the wall
Don't you know
It's the low hanging fruit
That always takes the fall
You said, 'Save for a rainy day'
But all it does is rain
Living by Skin and Bone
Sure does leave a stain
