Lyrics
Expendable
(c) 2003 Kimon / Ultrascene Ent.
You thought there would come a time
you could take it easier
You thought one day you might slow down your life
But with every turn came the worst and it got no easier
Some days you feel like falling on the knife
They sold you the goods they made you the promises
They'd be right by your side climbing up the hill
But there's nothing to show for it but the promises
And you're stuck with the bill
And it's all uphill
We are expendable
How did we get that way?
Once indispensable
But they threw us away
They just threw us away
After you gave it all after you gave everything
Everything turned out not to be enough
They might have given you the stock but they kept the dividends
And they start playing rough, so rough
They had told you we were all just one big family
And we were all gonna help each other through
But with the first sign of trouble came you're only guarantee
That they'll forget about you, Now you're through.
We are expendable
How did we get that way?
Once indispensable
But they threw us away
They just threw us away
