lyrics

Vers1
John Dennis got fed up, working at the factory
Building cars and handle the dumb and numb workers
And the tie breed called them-self-adjusting
A thorne in the eye of production man, screwing 'em
His last denunciation, was over the line
He got hold of a way to set an example, to give sign
Make people think about this system an' a lil revenge
'gainst modern slavery's hierarchy in a communist cloak

Vers2
An image came to his mind, of a black-mechanic-brain
Build by humans hovering in stratosphere
Conected by a hidden wire run in everyons's brain
But he yanked it out, to wake up mind's, to sound alert
The pressure and unwritten factory laws, were close to jail
Heavy duty, names an' rights unspoken
Brown-nosers without guts, all over the place
His desire to see some of 'em dead, everyday

Ref
An' at the beach of his island he dreamt a dream
The place he bombed was now a sign of unleashed greed
An' at the beach of his island he dreamt a dream
Of working all as one, with the lesson learned?

Vers3
Golden handshake was transfered, but still a thing to do
Paying dues for bleeding souls, company do's 'n' don'ts
An anonymous letter reached the office, to explain
Press got a copy, it spread through country, awoken
At the dotted line he bulid the bomb, firing
Buried administration building, no one killed
They called it an act of terrorism, closed the file to public
But Jon Dennis found a new home, life and peace

Ref
An' at the beach of his island he dreamt a dream
The place he bombed was now a sign of unleashed greed
An' at the beach of his island he dreamt a dream
Of working all as one, with the lesson learned?

An' at the beach of his island he dreamt a dream
The place he bombed was now a sign of unleashed greed
An' at the beach of his island he dreamt a dream
Of working all as one, with the lesson learned?
