Prisoners of Industry


At this point in history
We're prisoners of industry
Prisoners of industry
Slaves to modern times

Comfort is our ball
And money is our chain
We drag them with us all our lives
To pacify our pain

How could we get to work
Were cars to disappear
And how would we relax at home without a frosty beer

At this point in history
We're prisoners of industry
Prisoners of industry
Slaves to modern times

How could we read a book without electric light
Why learn to read a book
When TV's on all night

At this point in history
We're prisoners of industry
Prisoners of industry
Slaves to modern times

Who cares how many guns are sold
How many lives we lose
We got lots of Lucy reruns
Drowning out such news

For sickness there's a hospital
And when you're well Club Med
Don't worry, there are industries
That take you when you're dead

At this point in history
We're prisoners of industry
Prisoners of industry
Slaves to modern times
