Lyrics
Slave To The Wage
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.
Run away from all your boredom
Run away from all your whoredom
And wave your worries
And cares goodbye
All it takes is one decision
A lot of guts, a little vision
To wave your worries
And cares goodbye
It's a maze for rats to try
It's a maze for rats to try
It's a race
A race for rats
A race for rats to die
It's a race
A race for rats
A race for rats to die
Sick and tired of Maggie's Farm
She's a bitch with broken arms
To wave your worries
And cares goodbye
It's a maze for rats to try
It's a maze for rats to try
It's a race
A race for rats
A race for rats to die
It's a race
A race for rats
A race for rats to die
Run away
