Corporate cunts and pencil pushers
Prostitute your mind for cash
This way of live, it made me suffer
Trade your given time for trash
You all work jobs you badly hate
To keep the bills at pay
For shit you bought, but you don't need
What self-deceptive way
Right from the cradle
Straight to the grave
They want to tell us
How to behave
Right from the cradle
Straight to the end
They want to force us to pretend
An open letter to you all
Your greed will take it's toll
We're with our backs against the wall
But it's only built to fall
You tell me dreams are made to fail,
Like there is no escape
Prepared to walk
The longest trail
Away from mental rape.
Intimidate me with your lies
I'm paying any price
And when i come to say goodbye,
Can't look me in the eye
Right from the cradle
Straight to the grave
They want to tell us
How to behave
Right from the cradle
Straight to the end
They want to force us to pretend
An open letter to you all
Your greed will take it's toll
We're with our backs against the wall
But it's only built to fall
But i chose not to live like that
I'm fighting my way back!
An open letter to you all
An open letter to you all
Your greed will take it's toll
An open letter to you all
It's only built to fall
An open letter to you all
Your greed will take it's toll
We're with our backs against the wall
But it's only built to fall
Built to fall
