Slave to The Wage lyrics:

Runaway from all your boredom
Runaway from all your whoredom
And wave your worries and cares goodbye

All it takes is one decision
A lot of guts, a little vision
To wave your worries and cares goodbye

It's a maze for rats to try
It's a maze for rats to try
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die

Sick and tired of Maggie's farm
She's a bitch with broken arms
To wave your worries and cares goodbye

It's a maze for rats to try
It's a maze for rats to try
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die

It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die

Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away

oh, this song is great. I was listening to this song during one cold winter early morning on my way to very unpleasant job, that morning I decided to quit my job. no regrets, even though it was tough after.

I swear Brian is one of the few people who can make up for men look badass

[CaptainShamrock]

Its not always mined on totps. sometimes its live vocals over a backing track. sometimes its totally mimed and on some rare occasions it can be totally live but its prerecorded. Check out Queen singing good old fashioned loverboy on totps.

[lkshldrck]

those drums just play themselves at the start ;) topt well known to make bands use backing tracks.

[ABLE]

I envy you're hair in this Brian (especially in the Taste In Men mv) lol but anyways I am surprised this is actually performed live cause usually perfomances on TOTP are not perfomed live. (same thing goes with the similar show Countdown from Aus) lol maybe after the San Remo incident they probably didn't want to make the risk lol x3 unless this was before then hahah xD LLLove you Placebo good video :3 xxoo

[DarcyDagnall]

does anyone know what he said at the end after the song finishes?

[charliechaz]

Just so fucking cool. Don't make bands like this anymore. Molko has a real ear for a catchy melody to an alt rock background.

[hthomson]

Should have stuck it out and sung 'bitch' instead of 'witch', Brian! Lol!

[Neuroneos]

Brian always looks so bored :) I love him
