You have to drag yourself Just to keep the dosh coming To keep kinfolk from starving Despite all these heavy lifting You enter that poisonous atelier Inside a cubicle, sit on your chair Play staring games with computer screen Drink a juice of coffee bean That place, a modern day slavery ring Where your ego is bruised and badly beaten They own you 'cause they give you payslips But even with that you know it ain't worth it But that place isn't at fault It's those who own the vault They keep to them what's inside They won't share, they hide Under a mask of kindness They advertise false incentives But they won't give what you deserve 'Cause it belongs in their pockets They won't listen to your pleads Neither tend to your needs Silently blackmail you instead And then there goes your thread Your thread, closer to inch Your patience about to ditch You know you'll burst sooner or later They'll regret it all, when with them, you're finally over

Closer To Inch
You have to drag yourself Just to keep the dosh coming To keep kinfolk from starving Despite all these heavy lifting You enter that poisonous atelier Inside a cubicle, sit on your chair Play staring games with computer screen Drink a juice of coffee bean That place, a modern day slavery ring Where your ego is bruised and badly beaten They own you 'cause they give you payslips But even with that you know it ain't worth it But that place isn't at fault It's those who own the vault They keep to them what's inside They won't share, they hide Under a mask of kindness They advertise false incentives But they won't give what you deserve 'Cause it belongs in their pockets They won't listen to your pleads Neither tend to your needs Silently blackmail you instead And then there goes your thread Your thread, closer to inch Your patience about to ditch You know you'll burst sooner or later They'll regret it all, when with them, you're finally over
