Pulling You Down

(album: Death Before Dishonor - 1987)

10 times the man
But no time to prove
That in a grasping society
You can be of use

They're pulling you down

No-one to talk to
No-one seems to care
There's an easy way out
But you just don't know if you dare

They're pulling you down

The bedsits expensive
The money's not enough
Leisure times available
But even leisure costs

They're pulling you down

The job you had is gone now
The man next door the same
All pathetic victims
Of the government high power games

They're pulling you down

So listen to the crisis
The schemes that just don't work
To keep the people blind folded
They keep the workless down

They're pulling you down
