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
