All the Machines Are Quiet - Hawkwind

We're walking out

We're downing our tools

This management

They take us for fools

All we're asking is

A living wage

A living wage

A living wage

And now

There's nothing I can do

I spend my days in dreams

And join the endless queue

So far from the machines

All the machines are quiet

I could scream

All the machines are quiet

I'll take the kids

To Chessington zoo

The big gorilla

He looks just like you

Watch that tiger

Pacing in his cage

I feel his rage

I feel his rage

And now

There's nothing

I can do

I spend my days in dreams

And join the endless queue

So far from the machines

All the machines are quiet

I could scream

All the machines are quiet

The winter's coming

We need new shoes

I'm selling the car

I'm paying my dues

The union bosses

Tell us five more weeks

Five more weeks

Five more weeks

And now

There's nothing

I can do

I spend my days in dreams

And join the endless queue

So far from the machines

All the machines are quiet

I could scream

All the machines are quiet

Now There's nothing I can do

I spend my days in dreams

And join the endless queue

So far from the machines

All the machines are quiet

I could scream

All the machines are quiet

I there's nothing I can do

I spend my days in dreams

And join the endless queue

So far from the machines

All the machines are quiet

I could scream

All the machines are quiet

Now there's nothing I can do

I spend my days in dreams

And join the endless queue

So far from the machines

All the machines are quiet

I could scream

All the machines are quiet

Now there's nothing I can do

I spend my days in dreams

And join the endless queue

So far from the machines

All the machines are quiet

I could scream

All the machines are quiet

NOW
