‘Hey, Boiler!'


Hey, boiler!
Remember what we agreed?
Recall what you guaranteed?
So, why don't you work for me?

Hey, boiler!
It's a tough life we lead
And I find it hard enough to succeed
So, why don't you work for me?

Oh, I can't see
An end to the
Futile daily
Assault and battery
And so I bleed
But what I need
Is not A & E -
Just some empathy

Hey, boiler!
How shameful it must be
To live dishonestly
So, why don't you work for me?

Hey, boiler!
If you wore my shoes for a week
I'm sure you would concede
So, why don't you work for me?

Oh, I can't see
An end to the
Futile daily
Assault and battery
And so I bleed
But what I need
Is not A & E -
Just some empathy

Why do you do this to me?
