hot dishes from the  
G              D     
dishwashing machine  
C            G

C             G         
I do what I'm paid for  
    C              G

C              G     
many stains of red?  
    C               G      
and red is the same color  
     D                 
that runs in my veins  
C          G       
I'm just a number  
C           G      
swimming in water  
C          G      
I'm just another

dirty dish in the machine

So what if I could have made  
C               G              
millions in the stock market?  
C       G                
I never much understood  
D               
numbers anyway  
C          G       
I wash the dishes  
C            G        
someone must do that  
C            G     
people don't want

  D                    
I do the same to them  
    C                  G       
And who cares that the planet  
   C          G         
is turning on cruelty?  
  C          G          
a cold metal axis that
