Scrape
Just enough to get by
Hate
This world bleeds you dry
Fate
We're left questioning why
Making a killing is so unforgiving
When we're all dying for a living

Feels like everyday always begins and ends the same
Work your fingers to the bone while lying through your teeth
Smile and nod through the pain, but never admit defeat
As they hold your head underwater and your feet to the flame
You're too young to feel this old
People can be bought, but you shouldn't be sold

Circumstances are temporary, perspectives can be deceiving
Pull the wool from your eyes for you are not foresaken
Because the more you see, the less you're left believing
That you should keep giving as others keep taking

Bend and break your back for those who won't do the same
Serve everyone else's wants and needs, but never your own
And once you're in a bind then you'll find you're alone
But for the know-it-alls knowing nothing at all except who to blame
Do what you want instead of what you're told
People can be bought, but you shouldn't be sold

Scrape
Open every sealed eye
Hate
Stand up now and testify
Fate
We're left to defy
The deadly cost of living
When our own numbers are dwindling
