I am just another drone<\/p>\n
I work, I sleep, I dare not dream<\/p>\n
They pat my head and throw a bone<\/p>\n
It’s not a life I can disown<\/p>\n
No matter how it makes me scream<\/p>\n
I am just another drone<\/p>\n
It sits on my chest like a stone<\/p>\n
That there is no “I” in team<\/p>\n
They pat my head and throw a bone<\/p>\n
I will never sit upon a throne<\/p>\n
Eating scones with clotted cream<\/p>\n
I am just another drone<\/p>\n
No point in uttering a moan<\/p>\n
I’m held fast in their tractor beam<\/p>\n
They pat my head and throw a bone<\/p>\n
I’ve gone from maid to mom to crone<\/p>\n
I know freedom’s a pipe dream<\/p>\n
I am just another drone<\/p>\n
