Children, I want to warn ya, 'cause I've been to California
Where Mickey Mouse is such a demon, where Mickey Mouse is as big as a house
Life is wasted on illusions, Tom and Jerry's my solution
Evil gangs will cut the demons, but I belong some real boy, look around
And I cry all night, do you want to hold me, hold me tight
Do you want to hold me, oh yeah, do you want to hold me, hold me there
Children, you got to hand me, you just got to understand me
Love and death ain't no physical thing
'cause making next ain't no one of 'em
And I cry all night, do you want to hold me, hold me tight
Do you want to hold me, oh yeah, do you want to hold me, hold me there
Do you want to
And I cry all night, do you want to hold me, hold me tight
Do you want to hold me, oh yeah, do you want to hold me, hold me there
And I cry all night, there ain't no more confusion in the night
There's someone there to tell me what is right
Do you want to hold me, hold me tight
And I cry all night, there's only one solution to this life
There's someone there to tell me what it's like
Do you want to hold me, oh yeah, do you want to hold me, oh yeah
Do you want to hold me, hold me there
Do you want to hold me, oh yeah
Do you want to hold me, oh yeah
Where Mickey Mouse is such a demon, where Mickey Mouse is as big as a house
Life is wasted on illusions, Tom and Jerry's my solution
Evil gangs will cut the demons, but I belong some real boy, look around
And I cry all night, do you want to hold me, hold me tight
Do you want to hold me, oh yeah, do you want to hold me, hold me there
Children, you got to hand me, you just got to understand me
Love and death ain't no physical thing
'cause making next ain't no one of 'em
And I cry all night, do you want to hold me, hold me tight
Do you want to hold me, oh yeah, do you want to hold me, hold me there
Do you want to
And I cry all night, do you want to hold me, hold me tight
Do you want to hold me, oh yeah, do you want to hold me, hold me there
And I cry all night, there ain't no more confusion in the night
There's someone there to tell me what is right
Do you want to hold me, hold me tight
And I cry all night, there's only one solution to this life
There's someone there to tell me what it's like
Do you want to hold me, oh yeah, do you want to hold me, oh yeah
Do you want to hold me, hold me there
Do you want to hold me, oh yeah
Do you want to hold me, oh yeah

It seems strange to me that with a band as incredible as Bow Wow Wow, people are posting comments about their lesser known tunes. Nothing against songs like this one - but powerful agit-prop jungle-rock like W.O.R.K. is not even listed here. And no one has even posted on "Go Wild in the Country".
So I will take it upon myself to post a YouTube here:

"Demolition of the work ethic - takes us to the age of the Primitive" Oh dear. I think she was right on that one... "WORK - O - R - Kuh N-O..." (this song is so out there - total madness. COMPLETELY wrong and amoral in its philosophy - yet chillingly prophetic of welfare-state urban societal breakdown.
It was also spoken word/rap before these things were mainstream. And sung by such a sexy mysterious Burmese girl. Always makes me think of Kipling's "On the Road to Mandalay". BWW will always have a place in my heart. ☺ ♥ ☻
@NomadMonad - The primitive worked for his food, not for petty greed. Meanwhile, in the modern era, we cannot separate our greed from our need. We all compete with each other for things when time is the most important resource of all yet it is wasted on useless work. Folks who decry the welfare state 99.9999% of the time fail to acknowledge that modern society does not need most of the current work that is done if resources are allocated efficiently. Think about all the man hours done working on marketing. Then consider marketing campaign analysis. I have done this for pharma for 15 years, helping society Inefficiently and harmfully reallocate prescriptions for the purpose of imbalancing assets for the benefit of the rich. Do you realize nearly all pharma work is for marketing, and the remainder of much research is for either "me too" drugs (copy cats basically) or excuses for extending drug patents that are actually no better for the patient. Then look at food production. Totally inefficient. But people like you demand that people have the right to work 80 hours a week to get two mansions and in the process force other people to work two jobs full time just to survive. What a fool's system! So many people are put OUT of work by the "right" of relatively people to monopolize work and/or opportunities for profit. The solution is regulation, break-up of monopolies, penalties against countries (like China) that violate decent and fair practices, rights to cheaper (SINGLE PAYER/EFFICIENT) health care (unattached to labor status), and limits to asset accumulation rates. Jeff Bezos has ZERO business almost literally destroying the national economy by reducing the velocity of money in the economy (which he does by freezing money when it becomes his instead of spending it).
@NomadMonad <br /> <br /> Very interesting & strange that you relate this to big Pharma, since TODAY my son had reps from the Pharma industry promoting Pharmacology degrees to his HS biology class.<br /> <br /> I don't disagree with you. I was simply relating the McLarenesque lyrics of W.O.R.K.to actual scenes I have witnessed as a social-worker in an American city where there is very high welfare dependency.<br /> <br /> [But people like you demand that . . .] <br /> <br /> Not sure what you mean. Who are the "people like me"? <br /> Other BowWowWow fans? ☺<br /> <br /> Anyway thanks for responding with thought-provoking questions.
