Working With Fire and Steel Lyrics
I could never keep a beat
too busy in my paradise
put a crocodile in high office
and something out of place inside
When all is said and all is done
my hands that work with a fire and steel
Fashion play your part
to be workers of red
fashion play your part
to be workers
While all the time you dance around
and things get fucked and we're to blame
and I couldn't think political blue
When all is said and all is done
my hands that work with a fire and steel
Fashion play your part
to be workers of red
fashion play your part
to be workers
When all is said and all is done
my hands that work with a fire and steel
and motionless we'll slip away
images are my thoughts too real
too busy in my paradise
put a crocodile in high office
and something out of place inside
my hands that work with a fire and steel
to be workers of red
fashion play your part
to be workers
and things get fucked and we're to blame
and I couldn't think political blue
my hands that work with a fire and steel
to be workers of red
fashion play your part
to be workers
my hands that work with a fire and steel
and motionless we'll slip away
images are my thoughts too real

An interesting song, to be sure. A political statement to be sure: just a hint of cynicism, you think?
I like this song a lot really.
@Major Valor I, too, really like this song a lot. Discovered China Crisis just recently and have to confess I’ve become a bit of a fan boy. Lotsa good beats with good lyrics. Strength of Character and African and White are my personal faves currently.

@Major Valor … oh, and Arizona Sky. I love that I can respond to a 19 YO post here. Too fun

I've been searching for a written transcription of what the random guy hollers at the beginning of the song! I'm 98% sure that it's in English but it's really hard to decipher!
@Geistpferde I would say the line is 'The workers are dumb, fuck them all!". It fits in with the ethos of the song.

@Geistpferde Me Too!! Im also not agreeing that they only say,"To be workers of red __" Unless they're stretching Red out.
