Invincible

The anchor man is calling, he's dragging me awake

He feeds me news, the worldwide blues, the moves our leaders make

Sickly smiles on sofas preach "Let them eat fruit, not cake"

A twentyfirst century nanny-land nags us through a new day

Panicked, packed and running, make sure that we're not late

We're herded in like cattle to the slaughter through the workhouse gate

Driven by our masters we're shackled to the interest rate

You must exceed your target, human resourse 51698

It's my life and you can't have it

You trouble making shit, we've come to tear your palace down

How dare you think, get back in line

We need your fat and flesh to feed our big machine

Live work and die, there's a good boy

Don't smoke, don't drink, don't eat, don't think,work hard, don't slack, pay tax

Don't spend, don't stray, don't bend, don't pray, don't cry, don't die

Don't feel, don't try, no fun, no time, don't sleep, don't stop, work till you drop

Don't love, don't live, we don't forgive, don't fight the machine, you won't survive

Don't stop, don't think, don't shake your waking sleep

Don't hope, don't dream, don't dare to fight the machine

I remember those afternoons in bed, we laughed and loved and life stretched out ahead

And as the day melts into night, we'd plan a course to live our lives

But where did the time go? It drained away like the sand

Whatever happened to our dreams, they slipped through our hands

The grinding wheels keep churning, tearing souls apart

Devouring dreams and lovers schemes

Free thinkers, men of art

We are all just numbers

A target market, marked

But we can rise against the tide

The fish must kill the shark

It's my life and you can't have it

I will not break, I will not fall

I will not compromise for anyone at all

This is my life, you can't take

Knock me down, but I won't break

I'm invincible, I'm invincible

Break my will, steal my pride

As long as you are by my side

I am invincible, I am invincible
