lyrics

I'm stuck in debt and behind on rent
I'll never catch up
I want to go and find my landlord's house
Show them what it's like to be thrown out
I want to take revenge on everyone
that makes a living off of me

The days are bought and sold
The nights are long and cold
This world will beat you down
but I can do better cuz
I know that nothing ever stops
There's always more work
I'm always on the clock

I owe money, bills keep stacking up
I'll never catch up
I want to go burn down my local bank
Remove the boot off my neck
I want to take revenge on everyone
that makes a living off of me

The days are bought and sold
The nights are long and cold
This world will beat you down
but I can do better cuz
I know that nothing ever stops
There's always more work
I'm always on the clock

Loss for me is a familiar face
Nothing will hurt when you're expecting pain
All I know, how it feels to fail
Taking a hit over and over again
These bones will break

It feels like I lost a fight
that I didn't even know took place
Forever I am haunted by
the ghosts of my mistakes
It seems like I'll never climb
out of this empty hole
There's no one that I can blame
I'm holding the shovel

It's easy to get angry when everything seems empty
Choking on my own debris while the world rewards cheating
It's easy to medicate, hide from everything I hate
Poison that keeps me healthy, balance to stay on my feet

Sometimes I just want to watch it burn
It's a distraction so that I can finally breathe
Sometimes I just want to tear it down
Tear it fucking down

Injuries heal misery fades and scars remain
Tomorrow will come, and bring along a new set of problems

Behind again, kicked to the street
I'll never catch up
I want to go set fire to city hall
Rebuild a system that works for us all
I want to take revenge on everyone
that makes a living, off of me
