Bottom Of The Chain Lyrics

Bottom Of The Chain lyrics

Repulsive furniture in a small home out in Queens. 

Spotted-tick-fever
parents and their bat-weilding teens. 

Another murder, splattered across
the news. 

Can't wait till the flames engulf this city. 





Walk
in the slaughterhouse for an 8-hour day. 

Walk out a butchered sow and
crammed back in the train. 

I'm claustrophobic, so I stay close to the
door. 

Get out at Essex, and start to transform. 

Into a human.






I make your Xeroxes 

(I know. I know) 

I staple and I
file 

(I know. I know) 

I'm going braindead. 

(I know. I know)


But I know what I'm worth, 

Yeah I do. 



The head of my
company doesn't realize. 

That he's expendable, it would still survive.


But I'm the cannon fodder, the grease inside the wheel. 

I'm the nerve
center, the achilles' heel. 







And I'm the critical link.


I'm the crucial link. 

I'm the weakest link. 

At the Bottom of the
Chain. 



In the economy. 

(Weak link) 

At the Bottom of the
Chain. 

(Weak link) 

In the economy. 

(Your link) 

At the
Bottom of the Chain.... 

(Bottom, bottom, bottom...)










An unimportant cell of an apathetic whole.


Fractured, uninterested, without any goals. 

I like to drink a beer,
stare out into the streets. 

Smoke some cigarettes, cook something to eat.


Waiting for the city to burn. 





I've made no impact. 

(I
know. I know) 

On this mass culture. 

(I know. I know) 

I'm going
braindead. 

(I know. I know) 

But I rule this earth 

Yeah, I do.


'Cause when I collate 

(I know. I know) 

The masses tremble.


(I know. I know) 

And when I send a fax 

(I know. I know) 

The
universe shudders at my fury. 







And I'm the critical link.


I'm the crucial link. 

I'm the weakest link. 

At the Bottom of the
Chain. 



In the economy. 

(Weak link) 

At the Bottom of the
Chain. 

(Weak link) 

In the economy. 

(Weak link) 

At the
Bottom of the Chain. 

(Your link) 

In the economy. 

(Go!) 

At
the Bottom of the Chain. 

(bottom, bottom, bottom) 

In the economy.


(Chain....) 

At the Bottom of the Chain. 

(---------) 

In the
economy. 

(bottom, bottom) 

At the Bottom of the Chain. 

(at the
bottom of the chain) 

..At the bottom!
