lyrics

Ready For Work

Ready for work and the wind blew harder
Timeless and stable doubts
This, indeed, is implied in the music
Established at the microphone

Let’s see some other part of hell now
aspects of fingertips
The red light’s flickering overhead
Slaves building pyramids

Chorus: Ready, ready, ready for work
and the wind blew harder.

Timeless and stable doubts

Five months and four days, I know nothing about
quality of sidewalk fear
Early ages in the U.S.S.R.
specimens of ancient funds

Maybe electric razor military
Trio decides with grunts
Greasy grinning pockets you wouldn’t want smashing
Fruit that whistled like trains

Chorus

The 16th century German father is
Asking of chewing gum
The culture or glory, no one stopped dancing
Lifelike as reptile bones

Strange tongue hollering over the microphone
Monkey suit people waling nearby
I am willing work anywhere with
Strikebreakers, guards and spies

Chorus repeats interminably
