Asking price

by jake-meizell

Sweat and fire, tears and anger, hear the gears turning, hear the earth dying You damn the river so the machines won't rust, the only red you want is from the heart Taste the iron in your mouth, steel yourself for for the metallic rapture, sell your pain for a dollar! 40 or 40,000 hours, all that matters is that your labor is sold All that matters is the soles of your feet and your soul are the same
