Lyrics
Wage Slave
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 are a wage slave
I am a wage slave
We're all wage slaves
We're all wage slaves
