|
Working class scum of the world consume |
|
and commute and imbibe and repeat |
|
Living upon borrowed money and land that |
|
is owned by the hidden elite |
|
Hope is manufactured between the commercials |
|
and is taken to heart in the child |
|
Credit line kicks in to sustain aspirations, |
|
and another slave is thrown on the pile |
|
You labor |
|
Tread water |
|
Fed grain and |
|
Then slaughtered |
|
Economic system is a cage in pastels |
|
Orchestrated to keep you in debt |
|
Entertainment serves as a neon distraction |
|
Just so you forget |
|
A life spent eagerly paying the price |
|
But never acknowledging the cost |
|
Don't bother asking when we start to fight back |
|
The battle is over, we've already lost |
|
You're a wage slave |
|
I'm a wage slave |
|
We're all wage slaves |
|
We're all wage slaves |
