about

What do you get when you walk down the street
Only got two shoes on your feet?
What do you get when you got a guitar in hand
But no damn band?
Two cents maybe if you’re lucky
Two cents maybe and a nice wink

PRECHORUS
They’ll pass you by
Cause they don’t respect your life
They’ll pass you by
Cause they don’t respect your life

CHORUS
What is this tragedy we call class economics?
What is this luxury we call a humble life?
A cog in a machine, always ticking
Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock
Your patience is breaking

WILL
How does it feel
To be stuck in a bustling industry?
Heart turned to steel
And no time for the family
Stepped on by steppers on just to step upon themselves
How does it feel to be stuck in profit hell?

PRECHORUS
They’ll clock your hours
Cuz they don’t respect your power
They’ll feed you order now
Don’t bother asking why or how

CHORUS
What is life-drain?
Spine-straining, mind-training past-time?
What is this luxury we call a humble life?
Add another layer of oil, destroy your water, kill your soil!
Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock
Your purpose is failing

BRIDGE
Bum da da dum, bum da da dum, ….
1, 2, 3, 4
SCREAMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHORUS
What is this tragedy we call class economics?
What is this luxury we call a humble life?

9 TO 5 PANTOMIME
Answer your phone you have important things to do
All of these people and robots contacting you
You don’t own your time, you don’t own your time
Stuck in the 9 to 5 pantomime
