Sing While You 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.
I used to think that this life was better than yours
But the bigger you don't get the harder you fall
The more that you give the more that they fuck you!
Ahh they're gonna get you.
There's a place and a man that you owe,
You better be right there you better be on,
And without his help you ain't gonna get there.
Ahh you'll never be there.
I used to think that this life would give me an end,
But the guns are loaded the shells are in,
You're gonna be shot unless you defend,
The ground that you stand on.
But there's holes in the place that I built
I don't belong in the place that I built
You're sucking the, sucking the, sucking the life right out of me!
You're sucking the, sucking the, sucking the life right out of me!
I used to think that this life would cut 'em away,
But look at 'em watch you and watch how they'll say,
Your security's been fucked away and you're just the killer.
And you're criticized - so what?
For your hardest try - so what?
One day you'll die - so what?
So what?
So what?
You're sucking the, sucking the, sucking the life right out of me!
You're sucking the, sucking the, sucking the life right out of me!
Right out of me!
You're sucking the life right out of me
