Failing
We have results from the test
And the study suggests
Your values don't reflect our own
Got to live within means
As a means to an end
And we've agreed the end is now
We're obliged to economise
Reassess what we need
And all must lend a hand
It's a matter of compromise
Bite the hand that you feed
and give up your command
Your idleness has been reported
unproductive time is ill-afforded
dangerous ideas distorted
Of labour and love
You dream of something you created
Something that you own, that's not degraded
A memory that's long been faded
Of labour and love
Falling
With your feet on the ground
Tried to get in on ground
Floors but all doors were closed
It's a matter of course
It just made sense to outsource
the work, a force beyond control
Finding ways to homogenize
Strategies for success
That you must work around
Finding ways to monopolize
Make you do more with less
Take back the common ground
Your idleness has been reported
unproductive time is ill-afforded
dangerous ideas distorted
Of labour and love
You dream of something you created
Something that you own, that's not degraded
A memory that's long been faded
Of labour and love
