CITIZEN FISH LYRICS

"It Can't Go On Forever"

Some thing’s wrong, yeah the money's all gone
And I almost learnt the words to the same old song
Measuring austerity by the pound
In your pocket when we dock it, put the benefit down

Bigging up economy, ignoring the facts
When the people got no money it will all collapse
The beer is getting cheaper but we can't afford the gas
I'll have a pint of sympathy – plus tax

It can't go on forever – the buildings, they're burning
It can't go on forever – you're earning, we're learning

Now the rungs are coming off the ladder
It's a level playing field
Where no one gets the uniform
And no-one gets the deal
The only way to replicate
Some sort of self-esteem
Is to redefine the way we work
Together, outside of the machine

It can't go on forever – this waiting, it's degrading
We better help each other – another person, another version

Cos he can teach and she can fix
And everyone does what they did, but
Free to choose the useful bits
It's self-control get used to it
It's neither working for the man
We never got to meet
Nor full of stress disinterest
Or just set on repeat

We better help each other – another person, another version
We better help each other – occupation, co-ordination
This system isn't working until the job's worth doing
