Luddite Lyrics

I am just a Luddite
Gimme some Luddite juice
Machinery replaced me
They had to cut me loose
Spent five years with Ned and his troops, ya know
Felt so good to dismantle the gizmo
But we couldn’t halt no industry
And eventually I got pinched in an action’o

CHORUS

I am just a Luddite
Gimme some Luddite juice
Machinery replaced me
They had to cut me loose

I was waiting to be beaten, hung or burned
Caused me to laugh
It was amusingly absurd
In there with the others silent or sobbing
Pulled out a molar
My jaw was throbbing
And I tell ya

CHORUS

The root was long so I jimmied the gate
Threw out a rat
And hid with the psychos
That’s where I found Ned
They cut off both his thumbs
Tonguing the gap
Where his molar was

CHORUS
