All The Machines Are Quiet Lyrics - At The Queen Elizabeth Hall - Robert Calvert

We're walking out 

We're downing our tools. 

This management 

They take us for fools. 

All we're asking is 

A living wage 

A living wage 

A living wage 

And now 

There's nothing I can do 

I spend my days in dreams 

And join the endless queue, 

So far from the machines, 

All the machines are quiet. 

I could scream 

All the machines are quiet. 

I'll take the kids 

To Chessington zoo. 

The big gorilla, 

He looks just like you. 

Watch that tiger 

Pacing in his cage. 

I feel his rage. 

I feel his rage. 

And now 

There's nothing 

I can do 

I spend my days in dreams 

And join the endless queue, 

So far from the machines, 

All the machines are quiet. 

I could scream 

All the machines are quiet. 

The winter's coming 

We need new shoes. 

I'm selling the car, 

I'm paying my dues. 

The union bosses 

Tell us five more weeks - five more weeks - 

Five more weeks 

And now 

There's nothing 

I can do 

I spend my days in dreams 

And join the endless queue, 

So far from the machines, 

All the machines are quiet. 

I could scream 

All the machines are quiet.
