Discover the story of the song > Cheer Up London – Slaves

The song is about the protagonist who keeps working harder for more money, but it feels like he's digging his own grave. The lyrics repeat that he is already dead, and there's no point in continuing like that. The bridge says that even though things may seem bad, he should cheer up because he's already dead, and the outro ends with a "thanks for listening, good night!" message.
