hard work works hardly

im tired of supporting this economy with my wealth and greed

i've barely had a chance to consume this world

i've barely had a chance to breathe

yet im stuck under this rock

somehow i've become so sedated

numb to real life

numb to the very touch

raging with fire spewing out of every hole in my body

i pick up with slack for everyone

get nothing, get nothing

get not a god ****** thing in return

my thoughts are mice; quiet, nimble, and unwanted

i take care of this store like a child, wellfed and nurtured

but its a ton to cary when no one aknoledges what they do

take care of the front, take care of the back

take care of the front, take care of the back

i dont want to be here and of course im picking up the slack

i dont want to be here and of course im picking up the slack, no questions asked

too young in mind

too old in spirit

im living off of pure fumes of instinct now
