lyrics

The battle is on, the war is in your head
How many lies taught all the bullshit is fed
Consumed, acquired, bogged down and tired
They drain you from the get-go till the day that you retire

If you can afford it
You haven’t learned a dime about money and how to store it
You’ve spent your whole life buying shit you didn’t need
No investments and you wonder why your future’s looking bleak

You’ve been a pacifist no mistake you hadn’t missed
Congratulations now here’s your massive debt
See we control you
You are our slave and you’ll do what we say because we own you

And all along you thought you could do no wrong
But looking back upon your past that precious time has come and gone
Your time is up
You’ve lived a life someone else designed, and now it’s done

Time keeps on slipping, but it never falls
Mother Nature doesn’t wait, she never stalls
Everybody else was getting ready for the fall
You just took your time thinking somehow that it would get resolved

But it didn’t
So now you’re scrambling hoping that your next plan will fix it
But it doesn’t
So you just keep looking for a shortcut but that won’t cut it

You’ll do anything to avoid the work
Even if it’s inefficient even if it hurts
Even if it means you actually end up working harder
And you could have got it done if you did it when you first started

What a nightmare let me guess you don’t think that life’s fair
Somebody owes you man shut the fuck up
Get to swimming or else you’ll have a problem
They’re bringing you nothing cause no one is coming good luck when you sink to the bottom
