Thumbs on the keyboard I'm tapping notes So many of these stories I haven't wrote Wondering where to start and where to go When do we tear apart the wetiko? Take a seat next to me and I'll speak what I think Awake the beast, oh yes indeed, the weaker me can rest in peace Plain to see after these planted seeds eat the weeds Fantasy can't defeat heavenly energies Something bleak I perceive, and it seems clear to me History of mysteries, humanity has been deceived In the scenes of misery they've ran our countries to the sea and Now we're drowning in the blood of bodies who just wanted love I write about this but I know that I can never do it justice All I have to turn to lyrics is my personal experience Words of truth and heavy bias, I am thankful for my life but Hear me out I'll tell you why I feel the pain of modern times This is happening. Eyes are opening. Minds and hearts keep Fighting, growing. Time is closing. Society broken. Lies are showing. Denial is hopeless. This song I wrote for my friends in the back It's hard I know but you'll make it, yeah Once I got out I can't go back To the box that broke the handlers back Can't stop me now, gonna state some facts I'm walking out, let me take my bag Go on the road to the stage and rap Make mama proud and thank my dad No money in our bank accounts So funny how we're breaking down Economy is fake and now Our bodies are enslaved for our Conveniently delivered toys Disposable muscle employed I know the hustle and the toil The pay is not so worth the toll Sweatshops are how we ship your package You gotta load from the front to back and Do it all alone, but it's much too fast When you're walking home, bones crunch and crack Human body just can't suffer that Very long, ain't made to take this crap So I'm gone, break away in creative act Find a better way to make a check To the bosses who dictate our checks To the shoppers and the big execs Listen up, you better pay respect You're the box that broke the handler's back You thought that you could change the fact That it's wrong and inhumane to have All of us at the bottom of the bucket Living on some dollars that just don't cut it And you thought that you won't face the fact Okay watch this-boom! Your face I smack Think you lost a tooth and they all laugh You're just not used to the way we live Get a doctor dude, just be thankful that You've got the means to get your face looked at Cause a hospital trip could set us back Like twenty years of wages, yeah Not talking about this place exactly, this For all the jobs that break our back, all The dads and moms can't feed their family When they're falling over, weak and unhappy Cause their bodies have been used like cattle Our economy is too demanding And we're crawling through it, centuries pass and Got small improvement, mostly deception And it's fucking up our mental health Then they're telling us don't kill yourself No giving up, listen, there's help Well explain to me how in the hell If I miss a week cause I've fallen ill And I gotta to breathe and rest a while Then we're on the streets, couldn't pay the bills Now look us in the eyes and say you'll help Get some therapy and take some pills That is all you'll ever need if you're not well But That's not entirely enough to solve The futility of our modern world It makes us feel so low and small And breaks the spirit till hope dissolves I create these lyrics to show you all The chains that link us to the wall And by the way, don't get me wrong If you're in pain, want to end it all I know the strain, why I write these songs Take a moment, wait, cause your life is gold So cry with me when you can't be strong Just cry with me, you are not alone Sometimes life is fucked and wrong Come cry with me, I love you all Change is happening. Hearts are opening. We will only keep Fighting, growing. Time is closing. Society broken. Lies are showing. Denial is hopeless. There's gotta be a way to run things better There's gotta come a day they stop the pressure How long will we pay to kill each other? We've fallen prey to the sickest leaders The trust we gave is in the dirt The promise they made they still avert Conspiracy? Corruption? Overpopulation? We don't work to live, we live to work
