Lyrics
Contempt
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.
You had your freedom but you sold it away
You'll get it back when you're old and grey
Now you're staring out the warehouse window
Just like a child waiting for dismissal
You look at us with contempt in your eyes
We're the people you despise
Drowning in a sea of debt
Always pay in but what do you get
You're so thick you cant see inside
You're just a slave to conventional pride
Nine to five at a frantic pace
Your just a number with out a face
Two weeks freedom in a year
Sounds like a pretty shitty career
