Grave Digging - Nervus

Work all your life for something

That you’ll never be allowed to reach

When you find it amounts to nothing

A lesson learned, too late to teach

If you don’t break the endless cycle

Then your children will be next

'Cause when the system’s rigged against us

If you don’t fight, it’ll cost your neck

Not giving up or burned out

I still have hope

But I won’t lie to myself

Not giving up or burned out

I still have hope

But I won’t lie to myself

We can’t stay, but we’ll never get away

Stuck digging our own graves to live

And if work doesn’t pay, then we’ll find another way

'Cause we haven’t got a fuck to give

Work all your life for something

That you’ll never be allowed to reach

When you find it amounts to nothing

A lesson learned, too late to teach

If you don’t break the endless cycle

Then your children will be next

'Cause when the system’s rigged against us

If you don’t fight, it’ll cost your neck

Not giving up or burned out

I still have hope

But I won’t lie to myself

Not giving up or burned out

I still have hope

But I won’t lie to myself

We can’t stay, but we’ll never get away

Stuck digging our own graves to live

And if work doesn’t pay, then we’ll find another way

'Cause we haven’t got a fuck to give

The worst is over now

So back to work

Back the pub

Back to school

Back to church

I hope we realise we’ve been sold a fucking lie

About countless avoidable tragedies at the cost of countless lives

We can’t stay, but we’ll never get away

Stuck digging our own graves to live

And if work doesn’t pay, then we’ll find another way

'Cause we haven’t got a fuck to give

We can’t stay, but we’ll never get away

Stuck digging our own graves to live

And if work doesn’t pay, then we’ll find another way

'Cause we haven’t got a fuck to give

Won’t lie to myself
