Mark Knopfler - Industrial Disease слова песни
Warning lights are flashing down at quality controlSomebody threw a spanner and they threw him in the holeTheres rumours in the loading bay and anger in the townSomebody blew the whistle and the walls came downTheres a meeting in the boardroom theyre trying to trace the smellTheres leaking in the washroom theres a sneak in personnelSomewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneezegoodness me could it be industrial disease? The caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his postTheyre refusing to be pacified its him they blame the mostThe watchdogs got rabies the foremans got the fleasAnd everyones concerned about industrial diseaseTheres panic on the switchboard tongues are ties in knotsSome come out in sympathy some come out in spotsSome blame the management some the employeesAnd everybody knows its the industrial diseaseThe work force is disgusted downs tools and walksInnocence is injured experience just talksEveryone seeks damages and everyone agreesThat these are classic symptoms of a monetary squeezeOn itv and bbc they talk about the cursePhilosophy is useless theology is worseHistory boils over theres an economics freezeSociologists invent words that mean industrial diseaseDoctor parkinson declared im not surprised to see you hereYouve got smokers cough from smoking brewers droop from drinking beerI dont know how you came to get the bette davis kneesBut worst of all young man youve got industrial diseaseHe wrote me a prescription he said you are depressedBut Im glad you came to see me to get this off your chestCome back and see me later - next patient pleaseSend in another victim of industrial diseaseI go down to speakers corner Im thunderstruckThey got free speech, tourists, police in trucksTwo men say theyre jesus one of them must be wrongTheres a protest singer singing a protest song - he saysthey wanna have a war so they can keep us on our kneesThey wanna have a war so they can keep their factoriesThey wanna have a war to stop us buying japaneseThey wanna have a war to stop industrial diseaseTheyre pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blindThey wanna sap you energy incarcerate your mindThey give you rule brittania, gassy beer, page threeTwo weeks in espana and sunday stripteaseMeanwhile the first jesus says id cure it soonAbolish monday mornings and friday afternoonsThe other ones out on hunger strike hes dying by degreesHow come jesus gets industrial disease
