about

Featuring Pierre Verbeek on lead vocals

lyrics

Social engineering
With a human face
Everyone except me
Knows exactly why they’re here
The order of life is transparent
An ant farm between two plates of glass
There’s no unemployment office in this town
No old folks home either
The common workers sleep in barracks
If they lose their jobs they lose their beds
In the long subarctic winter
The human moles
Digging the underground powerhouses
See the sun only once a week
The pay is fabulous
But there’s nothing to spend it on.
