The Machine Has No Mercy

Punch the clock, grind the bone Factory smoke has turned to stone Seventy hours, half the pay Gears are chewing us away No mercy! No mercy! The machine keeps feeding! No mercy! No mercy! Till the workers stop bleeding! Suits upstairs in leather chairs Counting coins while we breathe their air One by one they wear us thin Spit us out, then pull more in Throw the lever Jam the wheel Break the rhythm Crack the steel No mercy! No mercy! The machine keeps feeding! No mercy! No mercy! Till the workers stop bleeding!
