The Happy Prole lyrics

[Verse 1: Sam Coomes]
Everday
We earn our meager pay
But it takes its toll
To play the happy prole

[Verse 2: Sam Coomes]
They buy your labor
Try to steal your soul
Bite the bullet
Hold your tongue
And play the happy prole

[Verse 3: Sam Coomes]
Paranoid and tired
Quit before you're fired
But they've got you in the hole
So you play the happy prole

[Chorus: Sam Coomes and Janet Weiss]
You need the money
So you've got to play it dumb
But if you play it long enough
It's just what you'll become

[Verse 4: Sam Coomes]
Pay your rent
Pay your bills
Pay the doctor for your pills
So you can work another day
As life slips away
