lyrics

Your anger is misplaced it’s the ones without a face that have you focused on race
a divisive tactic that’s practically got you foaming at the mouth gnawing at the strap as they crack the whip and we do our bit
Go to work sweat and bleed do as your told and do what we need
You don’t get paid to think , now work and drink until you sink into the pit of despair
and don’t pretend you’ve never been there , we all have we all question why
we all shit and bleed and cry

so work till you die then you can buy those nice things
those trinkets and rings, those baubles and phones and TVs that give the illusion of being free
of being happy when what we can’t see is that they are all just links in the chain that binds us
that grind us into nothing more than flesh machines, expendable until we’re no
longer useful ,then cast us aside

and there’s no place to hide just the illusion of normalcy that is in truth just slavery . Bravery doesn’t help when your just another whelp in the melting pot ,another tiny cog in the infinite machine that demeans and has no meaning save for perpetual existence
so resist all you like,you're just a speck, a fleck of dust in the eye of the beholder whether young or older it matters not not an inch, not a jot it's hard to believe that this is your lot

But still we're concerned with what others have got, keep rivalry alive as a means to survive, to keep us distracted from the fact that we're owned that we're trash,
our value defined with cold hard cash
Or cars or houses or horses or clothes ,your bank balance is full but you're still fucking owned
We're all fucking cloned in schools and in work,with tv and rules and agendas, all made to put us in our place that space that was reserved from the day we were born till the day that we die

Try step out of line and I'm sure you'll find that they're on you like a ton of bricks those morally corrupt pricks those so called elite that defeat at every turn, like they know every next move but they're just tugging the strings they say jump we say how high we don't question why we just do and die . We just complain and comply

Yes we're fucking angry but the anger is misplaced divide and conquer keeps us sitting firmly in our place
