Work to Rule

You don't need space to focus There is no cause to dream Compulsive gatherer leans over drifters And the lame to get right to the prize Stampede at expectation's peak Stampede at expectation's peak Blow to blow Job to job Work to rule, lauded one Work to rule with derision You don't need space to focus There is no cause to dream You don't need space to focus There is no cause to dream Run a mile Dialled in Work to rule, pre-emptive Work to rule, primitives Indeterminate are the hours Or minutes to happily take stock At the point when you return to the earth Precious little left to objectify and shun Will you wish you'd broken ranks? Or was 'living' still a drawback? Indeterminate Your achievements just egocentric figments? To settle down and be tranquil The preserve of the idle (!)
