Maria Jobs Where They Don't Know Our Names song lyrics
This is no time for looking back
We've been too long under attack
Of all the flat TV's in bars
Of people wanting to sell cars
Should we stay or should we go
I heard a man on radio
He said the best way to succeed
Is to cultivate your greed!
But I know, yes I know, yes I know, we can
Stop this evil plan
And stop going to jobs were they don't know our names
And I though, and I thought all these things I bought
Will protect me from getting caught
But I still go to a job where they don't know my name
And no we cannot understand
Because we didn't build this land
And no we have no memories
Of those who died in factories
But now as far as I can see
There's Wal-Mart, pain and misery
And little kids saying hallo
To parents lost so long ago
But I do, yes I do, feel there's something true
When I'm standing beside you
We won't have to take jobs where they don't know our names
And I see, and I see, and I see
There's not much wrong with me
Still I go to that job where they don't know my name
Tonight when we get home
We can sleep with the windows open
Soon we'll be twenty-five, thirty-five, forty-five
You say this property is mine
But you must watch out from behind
There's always someone with a knife
Could be your friend could be your wife
And darling no one really knows
Where Elvis Presely got his clothes
But soon the rich will be the poor
And stand there crying at your door
And yes they've written us these songs
I will no longer sing along
The only thing I know is true
Is that I'm sitting next to you
But tonight, yes tonight, we will take the fight
And cry out what is right
Soon we'll be twenty-five, thirty-five, forty-five
And I know, yes I know, we can
Stop this evil plan
And we won't go to those jobs where they don't know our names
And when we get home tonight
We can sleep with the windows open
Soon we'll be twenty-five, thirty-five, forty-five
Yes tonight, tonight, tonight
These spells can all be broken
And we won't go to those jobs where they don't know our names
