I've got 54321
I've got a red pair of high-heels on
Tumble me over, it doesn't take much
Tumble me over, tumble me, push
In my red high-heels I've no control
The rituals of repression are so old
You can do what you like, there'll be no reprisal
I'm yours, yes I'm yours, it's my means of survival
I've got 54321
Come on my love, I know you're strong
Push me hard, make me stagger
The pain in my back just doesn't matter
You force-hold me above the ground
I can't get away, my feet are bound
So I'm bound to say
That I'm bound to stay
Well today I look so good
Just like I know I should
My breasts to tempt inside my bra
My face is painted like a movie star
I've studied my flaws in your reflection
And put them to rights with savage correction
I've turned my statuesque perfection
And shone it over in your direction
So come on darling, make me yours
Trip me over, show me the floor
Tease me, tease me, make me stay
In my red high-heels I can't get away
I'm trussed and bound like an oven ready bird
But I bleed without dying and I won't say a word
Slice my flesh and I'll ride the scar
Put me into gear like your lady car
Drive me fast and crash me crazy
I'll rise from the wreckage as fresh as a daisy
These wounds leave furrows as they heal
I've travelled them, they're red and real
I know them well, they're part of me
My birth, my sex, my history
They grew with me, my closest friend
My pain's my own, my pain's my end
Clip my wings so you know where I am
I can't get lost while you're my man
Tame me so I know your call
I've stabbed my heels so I am tall
I've bound my twisted falling fall
Beautiful mute against the wall
Beautifully mutilated as I fall
Use me, don't lose me
I've got 54321
I've got a red pair of high-heels on
Strap my ankles, break my heels
Make me kneel, make me feel
Turn, turn, turn, like a clockwork doll
Put in your key and give me a whirl
Tease me, tease me, the reason to play
In my red high-heels I can't get away
I'll be your bonsai, your beautiful bonsai
Your black-eyed bonsai, erotically rotting
Will my tiny feet fit your desire?
Warped and tied I walk on fire
Burn me out, twist my wrists
I promise not to shout, beat me with your fists
Squeeze me, squeeze me, make me feel
In my red high-heels I'm an easy kill
Tease me, Tease me, make me see
You're the only one, I need to be me
Thankyou, will you take me?
Thankyou, will you make me?
Thankyou, will you break me?
Use me, don't lose me
Taste me, don't waste me
Use, lose, taste, waste.

The Money Will Roll Right In

“Do They Owe Us a Living?” is one of the very first songs recorded by the British anarchist punk band Crass in 1977. The chorus is “do they owe us a living? Of course they fucking do,” meaning that we all—regardless of who we are or where we come from or what we do for work—deserve quality of life. That this idea is still radical in 2020 is testament to the infuriating lack of creativity, empathy, and joy that constitutes life in a purely capitalist society. 

Crass sold their albums so cheaply they lost money on every sale; this single costs $5 and we’re donating 100% of proceeds to One Fair Wage’s Emergency Coronavirus Tipped and Service Worker Support Fund, which provides direct cash assistance to restaurant workers, car service drivers, delivery workers, personal service workers and more who are owed a living, now as ever. 

Our recording owes a huge debt of gratitude to The Soft Pink Truth, who recorded an excellent version of “Do They Owe Us a Living?” for 2004 for Do You Want New Wave (Or Do You Want The Soft Pink Truth?). Our cover is a cover of this cover. 

The Crass Logo was designed by Dave King. We made this pixel version in Animal Crossing.

Lyrics:

Do they owe us a living? 
Of course they do, of course they do 
Do they owe us a living? 
Of course they fucking do 

They don't want me anymore, threw it on the floor 
Used to call me sweet thing, I'm nobody's plaything 
And now that I am different, love to bust my head 
You'd love to see me cop out, love to see me dead 

Do they owe us a living? 
Of course they do, of course they do 
Do they owe us a living? 
Of course they fucking do 

The living that is owed to me, I'm never going to get 
Buggered this whole world up, up to their necks in debt. 
Give you a lobotomy for something you ain't done 
Make you the epitome of everything that's wrong 

Do they owe us a living? 
Of course they do, of course they do 
Do they owe us a living? 
Of course they fucking do 

Don't take any notice of what the public thinks 
So much on the TV, just don't want to think. 
Used you as a target, they want to sell advice 
When you don't want to hear it, say you're full of vice 

Do they owe us a living? 
Of course they do, of course they do 
Do they owe us a living? 
Of course they fucking do
