lyrics
Wake up to the dark and,
Scream silently,
Temples gnaw at the throb of the cold,
You do not know for whom you bend,
As you stoop,
To collect the soap.
In your work-head a mind control,
I’ll give NOTHING away.
The indignity of labour,
The indignity of labour,
The indignity of labour,
Now do it for the pay…
What a way to make a living,
An eight hour locked-in body syndrome,
The practice of smoking,
Seems a good escape,
IS THERE NOT SOMETHING BETTER,
AT WHICH TO ASPIRE?
IS IT TO KEEP THE WOLF FROM THE DOOR,
FOR WHICH YOU PERSPIRE?
Dead-eyed and hiding in a toilet cubicle,
Please, a moment more,
These people make me nervous,
With their blah-blah-blah,
The indignity of labour,
The indignity of labour,
The indignity of labour,
Now do it for the pay…
The indignity of labour,
The indignity of labour,
The indignity of labour,
Now do it for the pay…
Scream silently,
Temples gnaw at the throb of the cold,
You do not know for whom you bend,
As you stoop,
To collect the soap.
In your work-head a mind control,
I’ll give NOTHING away.
The indignity of labour,
The indignity of labour,
The indignity of labour,
Now do it for the pay…
What a way to make a living,
An eight hour locked-in body syndrome,
The practice of smoking,
Seems a good escape,
IS THERE NOT SOMETHING BETTER,
AT WHICH TO ASPIRE?
IS IT TO KEEP THE WOLF FROM THE DOOR,
FOR WHICH YOU PERSPIRE?
Dead-eyed and hiding in a toilet cubicle,
Please, a moment more,
These people make me nervous,
With their blah-blah-blah,
The indignity of labour,
The indignity of labour,
The indignity of labour,
Now do it for the pay…
The indignity of labour,
The indignity of labour,
The indignity of labour,
Now do it for the pay…

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.
