EVERYONE I KNOW

(by Alistair Hulett)

Everyone I know is 
feeling the pinch of these 
straightened days: 
Small change is counted on 
Tuesday; by 
Wednesday, we're always 
broke. 

Every week it seems they 
cut one more inch off our 
living wage: 
Paring us down for the 
new age; 
squeezing us until we 
choke. / Everyone I 

	know, 
	everyone I 
	know, / 

	Everyone I 
	know, 
	everyone I 
	know.

Everyone I know is 
warming their dreams on a 
dying flame 
Out on an ocean of 
self-blame where 
big fish get let off the 
hook. 

All the news I read says 
this is my great oppor- 
-tunity 
Here in the new clever 
country where 
some touch and others just 
look. / Everyone I 

	know, 
	everyone I 
	know, / 

	Everyone I 
	know, 
	everyone I 
	know.

    Everyone I know is worried 
    if they'll be the next for the 
    chop; 
    Every day the line is just a 
    little bit shorter at the 
    bus stop. 

Everyone I know is 
paying the price for the 
lunacy Of 
setting the corporate 
dogs free 
into the big picture 
book. 

Everyone I know is 			ALT:
painting in detail, the rope 		looking for someone to 
slack, 						vote for, 
Turning away from the 			Turning away from the 
fight back, for-					class war, for- 
-getting that the world ever 
shook. / Everyone I 

	know, 
	everyone I 
	know, / 

	Everyone I 
	know, 
	everyone I 
	know.

    Everyone I know is worried 
    if they'll be the next for the 
    chop; 
    Every day the line is just a 
    little bit shorter at the 
    bus stop. 

Everyone I know is 
feeling the pinch of these 
straightened days: 
Small change is counted on

squeezing us until we 
choke. / Everyone I 

	know, 
	everyone I 
	know, / 

	Everyone I 
	know, 
	everyone I 
	know. / 

	Everyone I 
	know, 
	everyone I 
	know, / 

	Everyone I 
	know, 
	everyone I 
	know.
