Work is the first track from HABITS Falling Fluent EP
lyrics
They told us we were great
That we could be anything
Like a place was guaranteed
And talent’s irrelevant.
Well you’ll never be an astronaut
And i’ll never make great art.
That’s not even half of it,
That’s just where it starts
Tonight i’ll stretch a canvas,
Paint a picture of deceit
Of growing old in retail jobs
And dying on our feet.
No future
No hope
No future.
There’s a door that doesn’t open
There’s a place that we can’t go
‘Cause promises were broken
And futures they were sold.
The rats who sank this ship
Had properties off shore
You can bet when we resurface
They’ll be coming back for more.
When we’re old and we are sick
And can’t get out of bed
We’ll work forty hour weeks
And wish that we were dead
And if death should finally come
To grant us final sleep
We’d turn over in our graves
As an alarm begins to beep.
