Video and Lyric - Video y Letra ::: Placebo - Slave To The Wage

Run away from all your boredom
Run away from all your whoredom and wave
Your worries, and cares, goodbye
All it takes is one decision
A lot of guts, a little vision to wave
Your worries, and cares goodbye

It's a maze for rats to try x2
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die

Sick and tired of Maggie's farm
She's a bitch, with broken arms to wave
Your worries, and cares, goodbye

It's a maze for rats to try x2
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die x3
Burn away
Run away (repeat)

"It's just a song about not working for The Man and chasing your dreams. It's about not working yourself into an early grave. It's our version of Bob Dylan's 'Maggie's Farm - which finds its way into the lyrics as well."
