They are coming
I bolted the door
And swallowed the key
My heart continued to hammer
Beat
Beat
Beat
They push and pull me
Toward the combustion furnace
My hands blistered
I shovelled the coal
The blood in my veins flowed
Boil
Boil
Boil
I drove to my sterile job
I sat at my desk and typed my keyboard
I looked at the people
The guard hit me with his baton
It electrocuted me
Ssssizzzzle
Ssssizzzzle
Ssssizzzzle
The industry came
I stood on the prairies
I pumped the oil
They drop me from the skyscrapers
They broke my bones
Crack
Crack
Crack
I was dragged to the factory
I shovel the coal
I pump the oil
I type the words
I burn the reactor fuel
Until the machines of industry stopped
My heart
Stopped
