First Track on Central Meaner Street, the 2008 release from EX~PO (now Papermaps)
lyrics
Chorus
Come now comrade, give it up, let me have that, it’s a tasty bite.
Throw a morsel to the mouths, let them savour, it’s a nasty fight,
A tasty bite,
VI
Get on a board make a statement through letter,
Get on a mic, let them hear it, even better,
And when we break for an hour, maybe we can go for a stroll in the park,
And try to forget, you can’t always be a clever, sport.
Chorus
Come now sister back to work, we’ve got deadlines, got to make tonight,
Pass the monument, now look, time is wasting, we’ve got facts to write,
To make tonight,
VII
We read the report, we get our orders together,
Get on the air, make it simple keep it clever, sport
And when we’re done for the day, maybe we can pass one around in the park,
I’m going to forget, try to make it feel better,
Bridge
Try to feel better….
Chorus
Come now comrade, give it up, let me have that, it’s a tasty bite.
Throw a morsel to the mouths, let them savour, it’s a nasty fight,
A tasty bite,
Come now sister back to work, we’ve got deadlines, got to make tonight,
Pass the monument, now look, time is wasting, we’ve got facts to write,
We’re going to make tonight.
