Am                  Cmaj7
Looking for a piece of earth

On the outskirts of the city

1,000’s of  signs ‘n parking cars

Am                        Cmaj7
Ploughing earth, watching cattle girth

The price of a pound, you shout a round

Teamwork, yeah ! What about me ?

14 hour days, your health’s at play

You’re being watched in a spreadsheet

The scratches are deep, you rest in sleep

Lantana doesn’t listen

D                             F
You’re just a stat, perhaps a door mat

People are expenses
