the hypertonics

Lyrics

Rumours of countries, oceans, and seas
Offering more than 'thank you' and 'please'
Couldn't we move in all degrees?

Sustenance stands where dignity lies
You can choose one 'til the other one dies
Mistaking the two has never been wise
So he's not going to work today

No he's not going to work today
No he's not going to work today
Asbestos dreams keep him away (awake)

Monday is gone, Tuesday's a fear
Wednesday is gone while Tuesday's still here
Thursday and Friday disappear

A butterfly falls, turns to a moth
Rhetoric calls, accusing of sloth
Linens and silk, just pieces of cloth
So he's not going to work today

(Chorus)

The profit of their's is bringing them down
The prophet of his is coming to town
A spectrum of change is turning around

He is a man, five foot ten
Raised to believe all that he can
Will not repeat our mistakes again
So he's not going to work today

(Chorus)
