 A New Woman

Slave labour


13 hours all day long work hard and deep.
I can hardly say goodbye i'm in deep dreaming sleep.
I can talk on the phone, but it's hard to listen to you.
People coming in and out, people screaming to get through.
You get home i only spend a good half and hour before drop off again.
Can you imagine my pain.
I am sick of this you put up with, 85 hours a week.
You only get a hundred worthless pounds a week.
I am grateful, but it aint a nice thing to do.
How can he see the way you struggle and ache before sunrise and not even come through to you.
Slave labour and on top of it all you have to obey them and worship the grounds they're walking on everyday and night.
How can you not even put up a fight.
This is you right.
You can't just keep working for your poor uncle he is so healthy he will maybe be alive when we die.
I can't even have a happy life they take out their pain and angers on you and it comes onto me and what do i do sit back and take it and take the lie.
You say everythings going to be alright, yeah why deny.
One day we will be in bad debt and we will be hanging upside down.
This is your life and my life on the line why should we drown.
We need to fight and i can't do it alone everytime i ring he's never there.
Why don't you let me speak to him.
Why be so dim?
It's ok now, but soon it will be inescapable agony we will hardly be able to survive.
You job is more than just physical its also emotional things can happen and you need to do so much.
I am your wife who can hardly get a good touch.
Your eyes sagging to hell you never keep them open and need to drop off when i talk to you.
Please will you come through for me i understand there is not much you can do.
I am with you all the way, but why do you need to put us through this?
