lyrics

I punch the clock and rock a collar just to cop a dollar
hustling legitimate don't wanna end up in the clink
having to drink a couple just to settle from the hustle
roomie snoozing in his tomb - with dishes in the fucking sink
hands and face are filthy stanking just to pay the bills
he kills himself unhealthy for the wealthy - sell my labor cheap
they got them saber teeth- they praying that the prey is weak
the futures looking grim we grimacing its so unsavory
we'll swipe the time cards but not the one clenched in the fist, nah
we'll scan the microchips they planted up inside our wrists
little shits got us working while we make them rich I
with someone would drop a bomb and blow this fuckin place to bits,
mind is dull from filling pockets of the swine
I'm on the line collecting profit fill my pockets with a couple dimes
the more you work the more you hate your life that's what it seems,
factory of broken dreams, manufacture dollar signs


punch the clock it's 9-5 thats how we get by
wage labor just another form of slavery
we shedding tears at the passing of the former years
we spin the gears ,while it kills us psychologically

Verse 2

40 hours just to eat and sleep within my home
my body's tired out i pay the cable bill and cell phone
I drink a 6 pack then roll a couple zig zags
I sit back and fall asleep - not knowing where my kids at
i wake an hour later sour like a now and later
hour left before i sleep I'm steaming like a cloud a vapor
fuck a job I rather rob bank thats what I'm thinking
drinking got me crazy rowdy blaze another round of paper
shitty check direct deposit profit pitiful
was previously dedicated jaded now I'm cynical
word to criminals for carving out their many margins
shopping for the top of crop - then cop the largest bargain
i break my back for just half a rack a week
surviving barely living grinning thru my teeth while other people thriving
conniving bosses wash their hands off like faucet
cuz their bloody play the buddy card then disregard the topic

punch the clock it's 9-5 thats how we get by
wage labor just another form of slavery
we shedding tears at the passing of the former years
we spin the gears ,while it kills us psychologically


(outro)

(you never live)
eat, sleep, eat sleep
east sleep eat sleep
