So that nine-tenths don't produce
There are men employing men
Ten years ago
While our water brother whale
We were dreamin'
Holding ransom calling truce
As the new wave rebel hoards
On a million wounded knees
And a very low profile
Try to take 'em seriously
And looking dangerous
Ten years ago
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That forms a queue of paperwork
Like he's always done before
Scribble balls on notice boards
I was dreamin'
Employing men, employing men
Employing men, employing men
We were dreamin'
Counting points of social scale
Who fill in forms, employing men
Clear stretching out into the mirk
Ten years ago
Were we dreamin'?
Who have faded to the wall
Were we dreamin'?
Ten years ago
Because they have to
Meets extinction on the seas
While the tax man robs the poor
Upstart youth and rebels all
Ten years ago
Bad manners still in style
Whatever system
And the old wave hierarchy
