lyrics

Boy, walk out the door,
You've had your time,
You're in decline,
A dinosaur, a last ditch stand,
Pay for your time
With cash in hand.
That's when my ego makes a stand.

Girl, shoot up the world,
I'm steps removed
From the dirty street.
My identity relies on the trade,
the capacity to degrade.

And so my ego makes a stand.
The deadpan clowns stand hand in hand.
A dumbshow casts a shadow on this land.
So c'mon boy be a man.

And think about the cost
To the lives that feel the loss.
The exploitation of the sex worker
leaves a stain, feel the pain, start again.
The silence of the blues,
And where's the right to what you use.

And so my ego makes a stand...
