Yesterday you saw that guy from work
Yeah you know the one I mean
Said that he was doing fine
And you know that pisses you off
50 hours a week
And that doesn't even count commute
Work, eat, pray, sleep
Makes me want to fucking puke
Then you meet someone outside of a bathroom that reminds you of you
And you freeze in that moment
Like two snakes lost in time
And you say to them
“I feel like I’m dying too”
I’ll fist fight my boss tomorrow
Maybe that’ll change his tone
Or lifts up his attitude
Maybe he’ll even remember my name
50 hours a week
They say you should be filled with pride
We were meant for more
Than to pay rent and fucking die
Then you meet someone outside of a bathroom that reminds you of you
And you freeze in that moment
Like two snakes lost in time
And you say to them
“I feel like I’m dying too”
What life is worth living
Under someone else’s boot
What life is worth dying
After all we’ve been through
What life is worth wasting
For someone else’s cause
What is life to them
If not just money and god?
