[Chorus: Spoken]
Blinkered, paralysed
Flat on my back

[Verse 1: Spoken]
They say our world is built on endeavor
That every man is for himself
Wealth is for the one that wants it
Paradise, if you can earn it

[Verse 2: Spoken]
History is the reason
I'm washed up

[Chorus: Spoken]
Blinkered, paralysed
Flat on my back

[Verse 3: Spoken]
My ambitions come to nothing
What I wanted now just seems a waste of time
I can't make out what has gone wrong
I was good at what I did

[Verse 4: Spoken]
The crows come home to roost
And I'm the dupe
