I feel like I could scream for years to no avail
The letters flying from my tongue feel stale
I push and I push but a hundred push back
On the opposite end of every attack
You can try and try but you'll see before long
No matter what you do you'll do someone wrong
And if your own self-interests aren't the game you play
You'll struggle with yourself every fucking day
And I keep fighting it away but it's hard to survive
You work a job that you hate for the rest of your life
Making fucking money for another man
Who doesn't give a shit about any of your plans
To live your fucking life and enjoy your time
But instead it's getting harder just to stay alive
And you feel like everyday is gonna be this way
And it keeps getting harder to make that feeling go away
They'll fuck you over everyday and night
Don't let the rot set in you're gonna be alright
When you don't feel like you're gonna win this fight
Don't let the rot set in you're gonna be alright
Money's not worth anything but their pride
An imaginary construct to control our lives
Divide us, Conquer us with that pointless lie
That it means a fucking thing or that we need it to survive
It's power to exploit, Power to destroy
The power that corrupts and the power they enjoy
To wave above your head, tell you to fucking try
To reach for their lives until you fucking die
They'll fuck you over every day and night
Don't let the rot set in you're gonna be alright
When you don't feel like you're gonna win this fight
Don't let the rot set in you're gonna be alright
We can try everyday it might never go away
But if we don't do a thing than it's sure to fucking stay
Someday this will end and these powers will rise
Don't let the rot set in you're gonna be alright
If I could burn every dollar, I'd watch the smoke rise
And the light of the fire it would fill my eyes
And never again would I feel more free
Then when no one else was above or below
ME
