24 / 7 - Lester Simpson - Voice Publishing 1. A century of struggle disappearing down the drain The honest day for decent pay our parents fought to claim Now global spin rotates the world, brands get ever stronger As Britain tries to waive the rules by working ever longer Chorus Twenty four seven and three six five You gotta work a little harder if your ever gonna thrive Check the way you do it try a bit more and then You're gonna burn out long before you're three score and ten 2. In an endless quest for bigger bucks you really ought to know The men in suits will move the work to where the pay is low The suits are sewn by nimble hands that have no time for clapping Designer names, no wage claims, shoppers go home happy. Chorus 3. Constantly improving always checking your demeanor Singing from the same hymn sheet always being keener Then you down sized, not prized, seems that you were off course Outsourced, no discourse, your just another resource. Chorus Middle 8 We must ensure the margin's bigger, We know you're not the one to shirk, We didn't want to pull the trigger, It's just the way the markets work. 4. Though now you're working twice as hard, profits start to stumble, They move the cursor, click the mouse and stock begins to tumble, The stake you have been holding has been driven through you're dreams, And the big man, who had the plan, has walked off with the cream. Chorus x 2 |
