My dad's condom broke I'm 97'
Now I exist, so I can pay bills and have crippling depression
They say congrats on being born
Now get a job you lazy capitalist, whore
They say they care
If you live or die, but they just need your labor
It's all a lie
I live to work
My dreams get shot
If I kill myself it is employment cost
So it's a 9 to 5 till death
Or it's a minimum wage gig where you won't get fat
And start to hate, the whole human race
For not fixing this world before it's too late
They say they care
If you live or die, but they just need your labor
It's all a lie
I live to work
My dreams get shot
If I kill myself it is employment cost
You missed your kid's birthday
It was only last week
The office stays late
Now you're falling asleep at the wheel
(At the wheel)
They say they care
If you live or die, but they just need your labor
It's all a lie
I live to work
My dreams get shot
If I kill myself it is employment cost
