Escalator
Tony Wakeford
[Verse 1]
They’ve banned pickets
And brought back rickets
You don’t need to be good at maths
To see we’re ruled by sociopaths
[Verse 2]
There’s nothing free about their enterprise
If they could own the air we’d all die
They rub their hands at wars and epidemics
They’d rent out life boats on the Titanic
[Chorus]
Running up the down escalator
A rat trapped in a wheel
[Verse 3]
City rents
Living in tents
Too tired to fight, too scared to steal
Afraid to live, afraid to feel, afraid to feel
[Chorus]
Running up the down escalator
A rat trapped in a wheel
