lyrics

I feel like a rat in a maze
Like a dog in a cage
Give me an inch and I'm taking a mile
And running as fast as my body will take me
What do you take me for
Another mindless automaton
Another fit for an office job
Collecting crumbs and bitching about Monday
I never asked to be part of the system
Fuck the man and the horse he rode in on
We've made no place for the wit and the wisdom
There is no place for me

Not as long as I live
I want to live but I sleep
I want to sleep but I work
I want to quit but it's never enough to be rid of it all
So take me to church
Pull me up by my bootstraps
I want to cash in this privilege
Give you a dollar and you give me some more of the end of my own rope

You string me along
You string me along but you hold me together
You may hold me together forever but you will never be welcome here

Never as long as I live
I want to live but I sleep
I want to sleep but I work
I want to quit but it's never enough, never enough, get
Get it back

I watched your face hit the mattress to end your day
And then you sighed at the ceiling when morning came
So take me to church
Pull me up by my bootstraps
Tell me I need to try harder
Give you a dollar and you gimme some more of the end of a rope that is fastened to
Nigh is the time for a leader who touches the ground with their hands
Leads the charge
Fords the rivers
So we can finally get some fucking peace
