lyrics

THE WORK SONG

Well I sang the 20th century - it did not serve me well
Still stood behind a counter - embarrassed books for sale
I’ll forgive you my opinions - they have not done much good
My deed leaves dry desire, damp calls & unburnt wood

You don’t have to answer me, I know what silence means
A hole half full of truths unsaid, a spoiled future’s dreams

I walk to work on Tuesdays, six questions in my head
Now six & one forgotten, eight & half hours end
Consensus is forever false & cloaks an interest bald
Beta-body intentioned & earmarked for a Wald

You don’t have to answer me, I know what silence means
A whole half full of joys unsaid, a past splitting its seams

There’s cold damp ground wet with the stick of birth & shattered time
Of amniotic fever rush, cells bursting from their brine
I cry out for my father, through static on the line
I cry out for beloved sons, held fast by arms entwined

Oblivion is easy & easier is blame
& easier to rise than bread is hate’s head rubbed in shame
