Текст Levellers – Duty

So you’ve done your duty, relax
Four and twenty for life
But that faceless man and his plans
Has been giving you sleepless nights

There’s a white knuckle ride in the queue
You don’t know what to say
You’ve always played by the rules
And now it’s redundancy day
You’ve worked hard all this life
Still you can’t go free
This is the hunger you can’t feed

I take it all and I hide it away
Just be grateful, grateful
There’re killers and thieves who need to be paid
So be grateful, grateful
I take it all and I hide it away
Just be grateful, grateful
There’re killers and thieves who need to be paid
So be grateful, grateful

We have no offshore account
No mountain of gold in a vault
We get by on final demands
Living under assault
Another bailiff to fight
He’ll make you bleed
This is the hunger you can’t feed

I take it all and I hide it away

Reap all you’ve sown
He’ll make you bleed
This is the hunger you can’t feed
Yeah, I take it all and I hide it away
Just be grateful, grateful
There’re killers and thieves who need to be paid
So be grateful, grateful
I take it all and I hide it away
Just be grateful, grateful
‘Cos there’re killers and thieves who need to be paid
So be grateful, grateful
Grateful
Grateful
Grateful
