Lyrics

Notes

was always waiting for the crush the car to drive right through the shops to call in sick and late for work and take a holiday was always tangled up in knots to keep myself from speaking up but no one's listening anyay just trying to bribe me and if it's alright, then what are we doing here? and if it's alright, this place is gassed by fear and if it's alright, i'll tell you 'cos you'll never understand and if it's alright, i'll beg you, because i'm a begging kind of man today i wrote a bad cheque packed a bag and took a jet but no-one's looking anway i hope they miss me (sometimes i think maybe i'm making a big mistake)

Yet another song written right after the band got signed, this one looks at the corporate mentality - fat bankrolls, big promises. "Million $ Question" also seems to reflect Thom's feelings of doubt at this time, closing with the sample that says, "I just think maybe I'm making a mistake." The track was a live favorite in 1992 and 1993. [taken from greenplastic.com]
