Slowing Down The Trains

Well, you hate your boss
But you need your job
But what about another day off?
Transit's the grease
That runs this machine
And nobody rides it for free

So park a car across the track
Walk away and don't look back
Slowing down the trains

Well talk amounts to squad
If you can't walk the talk
We could bring this whole town to a halt
Society's pride in
Being on time is
Totally undermined

And thus, we state it's our mandate
To cause delay and make you wait
Slowing down the trains

Like cattle to abattoirs, tucked into cars
Lost to the mass graves of bourgeoise in awe
Like rats in the races atop of the clock
Only to see that the clock has been stopped

Well, here's a new stop where the rich will get off
Wouldn't you just like to tear down the wall
Like gods over all cause empires to fall
While Bay Street pigs will starve at the trough

Listen

The stations and depots
All filled with people
The day we made them all late
Like pulling a power switch and then
Turn it off again
We can show them all who's in charge

So wait until they change the cart
We'll sabotage the switching yard
Slowing down the trains

Well, you need your job
But you hate your job
But what about another day off?
Transit's the grease
That runs this machine
Reminds us all that we're slaves

So park a car across the tracks
And walk away and don't look back
Slowing down the trains

And thus, we state it's our mandate
To cause delay and make you wait
Slowing down the trains
