Wage Slave -

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
