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