What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Well, I been breakin' rocks
2
Up on coolie number three
3
I know it's been forever
4
Thought you'd never hear from me
5
The weather here is rotten
6
Rainin' granite all the time
7
And both moons are glowin' purple
8
And there is no sun to shine
9
I keep diggin' deep down in a tunnel that goes
10
Twenty miles down
11
And I know my life is cheap
12
When I hear that rumblin' sound
13
Oh, the overlords
14
Got me workin' overtime
15
Oh, the overlords
16
No, they never make it rhyme
17
And there is somethin' in the air
18
That is burnin' in my throat
19
A big black cloud is passin'
20
Droppin' acid on my coat
21
Oh, the overlords
22
Got me workin' overtime
23
It's been ten years and a day
24
After World War Nine
25
They pushed us to make meaning
26
And from the meaning was our crime
27
Last night I had a dream
28
When the guards all fell asleep
29
Oh, I jumped a fence outside this pen
30
And then I hot wired up the warden's jeep
31
And then I took a walk...
32
Chorus repeat
33
I still remember all the nights
34
We had together up on Mars
35
We both stood in line to get some new tattoos
36
While the kids got cut some scars
37
When they check the beds tonight
38
I'll leave a note scratched in the pine:
39
"You now can seek me underground
40
Where I'll be monkey-wrenchin' all the time"
41
Chorus repeat
42
From a planet out in space
43
A signal you could trace
44
Controlling what you feel
45
But you never see their face
46
Oh, the overlords
47
Got me workin' overtime
48
Oh, the overlords
49
Oh, the overlords
50
Oh, the overlords
51
Oh, the overlords
52
Yeah, the overlords
53
Yeah, the overlords
