Lyrics

Crushed by the wheels, ooh, ooh Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels of industry Work, now Breaking in the future just before the week is up They can do it but it's going to take some money Have what you desire if and when you see the fact They will lead us to the land of milk and honey Work all day or work all night, it's all the same If you want the pay (But do you really want the pain?) Some drive tankers, some are bankers Some are workers, some are not It is time for a party Dance to nation, for the nation now Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels, ooh, ooh Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels of industry Work, now Call me in the morning just before the breakfast show We'll watch TV and analyze the weather Before we go to work, we'll have planned the day ahead We'll while away the working day together (While away the working day together) Work all day or work all night, it's all the same (Work all day) If you want to play Some are nurses, some steal purses Some are workers, some are not It is time for a party Liberation for the nation now Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels, ooh, ooh Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels of industry Work, now There's a party going on That's going to change the way we live But how do we know we've even been invited? Now the invitation's waiting and the table is reserved So just play it cool and don't get excited Work all day or work all night, it's all the same (Work all day) Will we ever change? It's vocation or vacation Some are workers, some are not It is time for a party Syncopation for the nation now Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels, ooh, ooh Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels of industry Work, now Work, work, work, work Work, work, work, work, now Work, work, work, work Work, work, work, work, now Work, work, work, work Work, work, work, work, now Work, work, work, work Work, work, work, work, now Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels, ooh, ooh Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels of industry Crushed by the wheels of industry Work, now There's a party going on That's going to change the way we live But how do we know we've even been invited? Now the invitation's waiting and the table is reserved So just play it cool and don't get excited Work all day or work all night, it's all the same (Work all day) Will we ever change? It's vocation or vacation Some are workers, some are not It is time for a party Syncopation for the nation now Industry
