Skin and Bone Lyrics

Feeding from the scraps on the table

Getting by on Skin and Bone

Loose change in your pocket

Destination still unknown

Caught by metallic fingers

And a laser beam

Here comes the biggest T.K.O

The world has ever seen

An army of blue collars

Lined against the wall

Don't you know

It's the low hanging fruit

That always takes the fall

You said, 'Save for a rainy day'

But all it does is rain

Living by Skin and Bone

Sure does leave a stain

Called up the doctor

Can you help me please

Don't see no cure

For automation disease

Lead a man to water

But can't afford to drink

Put a price on everything

Except how I think

An army of blue collars

Lined against the wall

Don't you know

It's the low hanging fruit

That always takes the fall

You said, 'Save for a rainy day'

But all it does is rain

Living by Skin and Bone

Sure does leave a stain

Retired all the workers

Yeah, their time has past

When you tally the balance sheet

Flesh and bone don't last

Idle hands and the devil

Dark as a coal seam

Metropolis on steroids

The dystopian dream

An army of blue collars

Lined against the wall

Don't you know

It's the low hanging fruit

That always takes the fall

You said, 'Save for a rainy day'

But all it does is rain

Living by Skin and Bone

Sure does leave a stain
