a shell of a man
thats all thats left
they carve out their insides
to make others content
sell their souls to the dollar
cause its all there is left
broken men, broke off of broken homes
tired and sore, worn through the floor
we'd cut our wrists if we could afford a knife
but the bills must get paid
and the clothes must stay dry
if they would have asked us our opinion
to be born into a world with nothing in it
we probably would have stayed wherever we were before
cause nothing is worth this, nothing hurts like this
the rich man lost control and they took his slaves
so he brought it underground and enslaved all the poor
abolish is just a word that they used to feign freedom
nothing was stopped, just a shift in semantics
a new word added to the dictionary
and the illusion of pay in exchange for services
this is not life
this is torture, but not enough to kill us
just enough to keep us weak and desperate
what happens when we've had enough
and we arm ourselves to the teeth
and gut the first person who tries to tell us what to do
