What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Well I been breakin' rocks up on coolie #3
2
I knnow it's been forever, thought you'd
3
Never hear from me
4
The weather up here is rotten
5
Rainin' granite all the time
6
And both moons are glowin'purple
7
And there is no sun to shine
8
I been diggin' deep down in a tunnel
9
That goes twenty miles down
10
And I know my life is cheap
11
When I hear that rumblin' sound
12
CHORUS
13
Oh the overlords, got me workin' overtime
14
Oh the overlords, they never make it rhyme
15
And there is something in the air
16
That is burnin' in my throat
17
A big, black cloud is passin'
18
Droppin' acid on my coat
19
The overlords got me workin' overtime
20
It's been ten years and a day
21
After world war nine
22
They pushed us to make meaning
23
And fromheir meaning was our crime
24
Last night I had a dream
25
When the guards all fell asleep
26
I jumped a fence outside this pen
27
And then I hot wired up the warden's jeep
28
And I took a walk...
29
CHORUS
30
I still remember all those nights we had
31
Together up on Mars
32
We both stood in line to get some new tattoos
33
While the kids got cut some scars
34
And when they check the beds tonight
35
They'll find a note scratched in the pine
36
You now can seek me underground
37
Where I'll be monkey-wrenchin' all the time
38
CHORUS
39
>From a planet out in space, a signal you could trace
40
Controllin' what you feel but you never see their face
41
Oh the overlords, got me workin' overtime
42
