Job's Where They Don't Know Our Names - Raymond & Maria

This is no time for looking back

We've been too long under attack

Of all the flat TV's in bars

Of people wanting to sell cars

Should we stay or should we go

I heard a man on radio

He said the best way to succeed

Is to cultivate your greed!

But I know, yes I know, yes I know, we can

Stop this evil plan

And stop going to jobs were they don't know our names

And I though, and I thought all these things I bought

Will protect me from getting caught

But I still go to a job where they don't know my name

And no we cannot understand

Because we didn't build this land

And no we have no memories

Of those who died in factories

But now as far as I can see

There's Wal-Mart, pain and misery

And little kids saying hallo

To parents lost so long ago

But I do, yes I do, feel there's something true

When I'm standing beside you

We won't have to take jobs where they don't know our names

And I see, and I see, and I see

There's not much wrong with me

Still I go to that job where they don't know my name

Tonight when we get home

We can sleep with the windows open

Soon we'll be twenty-five, thirty-five, forty-five

You say this property is mine

But you must watch out from behind

There's always someone with a knife

Could be your friend could be your wife

And darling no one really knows

Where Elvis Presely got his clothes

But soon the rich will be the poor

And stand there crying at your door

And yes they've written us these songs

I will no longer sing along

The only thing I know is true

Is that I'm sitting next to you

But tonight, yes tonight, we will take the fight

And cry out what is right

Soon we'll be twenty-five, thirty-five, forty-five

And I know, yes I know, we can

Stop this evil plan

And we won't go to those jobs where they don't know our names

And when we get home tonight

We can sleep with the windows open

Soon we'll be twenty-five, thirty-five, forty-five

Yes tonight, tonight, tonight

These spells can all be broken

And we won't go to those jobs where they don't know our names
