Piecework

 

At The Core Of Industry Is It Drive Or Is It Greed

That's The Motivating Force In The Bellies Of The Beasts...

On Production Lines

Is It Pride Or Is It Fear

That Produce The Best Results......

I Tried For The Proper Promotions

Sharpened Every Pencil In Sight

Forgot What I Was Thinking

I Tried, I Tried

After Months Of Unemployment Took Whatever I Could Find

Shook Off My Dignity I Threw Myself In....

The Job I Thought Lent Security

Turned Into A Noose Around My Neck (1983)
