We bought the lie they sold, hook line and sinker
We slave away out lives while sinking deeper
Trapped in a spiral down, in constant freefall
We claw to find a way out of these prison wall
The system's rigged, the ballot cast
Their money wins, our lives are last
The cards are stacked against you, to keep you in your place
Something we cannot see, something we cannot face
A dream they promised us, of life and liberty
A circumstance of birth, one which we'll never see
With every passing day, we find we're nowhere
Each second that we waste, we seem to not care
How far have we now come, remains to be seen
Our dreams now turn to stone in living atrophy
Give me a reason why I don't have a chance
Life is far too short to live inside the wall they've built for us
