Alison Moyet - Money Mile

money mile

into your car park drive obsolete motors
with petrol consumption at too high a price
sell us through needles at backroom board meetings
blindfolded and handcuffed and in single file

send us to battle, send us to the front line
point us at the enemy, lest we forget
it’s for our protection, that we lay here slaughtered
it’s for our survival we bury our dead

on your money mile, we are the faceless,
the nameless, the homeless
on your money mile, there in your fortress
where you couldn’t care less
on your money mile, we are the caseless,
the raceless, the hopeless
on your money mile, you were caught in
the crossfire, hauling the flag right down
hauling the flag right down

on your money mile
