Money Mile

Alison Moyet

Into your car park, drive obsolete motors
With petrol consumption at too high a price.
Sell us through windows at backroom board meetings;
Blindfolded and handcuffed and in single file.

[Chorus]
On your money mile,
We are the faceless, the nameless, the homeless.
On your money mile,
There in your fortress where you couldn't care less.
On your money mile,
We are the caseless, the raceless, the hopeless.
On your money mile,
You were caught in the crossfire hauling the flag right down.

Send us to battle; send us to the frontline.
Point us at the enemy.
Lest we forget;
It's for our protection that we lay here slaughtered.
It's for our survival we bury our dead.

[Chorus]

On your money mile...
