I had a good job, it served me well
Still I couldn't meet the prices
Now I work and work
And I won't pay
The money that you never needed
We will come in deadly silence
We will drag you meekly from your beds
Fear in your uncomprehending faces
We'll march you to the wall for a landlord's death
You never needed to take the time
Know our names or see our families
You sit above us, you drain our lives
No tears shed for the guilty
We will come in deadly silence
We will drag you meekly from your beds
Fear in your uncomprehending faces
We'll march you to the wall for a landlord's death
You've done well out of this
Working hard as ever you did
You just sat and waited
And we came crawling in
I had a good job, it served me well
Now the shelves are standing empty
We won't be weak
We won't be kind
No tears shed for the guilty
We will come in deadly silence
We will drag you meekly from your beds
Fear in your uncomprehending faces
We'll march you to the wall for a landlord's death
