Vesta Flame - Grinders Lyrics

Grind the gears sacrifice
Blood for bread no paradise
Dreams dissolve we've sold our time
To build their empires climbing grime

Alarm screams another day
The same machine eats my soul away
Paycheck whispers You'll be free
But freedom's a myth in this economy
Back's breaking knees won't hold
Trading life for pennies bought and sold
Clock out tired still awake
Debt's the prison you can't escape

Work to live live to work why why why
Drown the screams numb the fears cry cry cry
Pay the rent sell your years die die die
Work to live live to work why why why
Drown the screams numb the fears cry cry cry
Pay the rent sell your years die die die

Endless meetings corporate lies
Bosses stare with soulless eyes
You're replaceable so just obey
While their yachts sail far away
Lunch break's stolen unpaid time
Sacrificed to climb their climb
The ladder's missing every rung
We scream but silence fills our lungs

Work to live live to work why why why
Drown the screams numb the fears cry cry cry
Pay the rent sell your years die die die
Work to live live to work why why why
Drown the screams numb the fears cry cry cry
Pay the rent sell your years die die die

Medical bills they drain the veins
Insurance games just fuel the pain
The harder we work deeper we dive
What's the cost to stay alive
They profit while we're cast aside
How much longer can we abide
They own the time they own the clocks
Our lives are locked in ticking stocks

Work to live live to work why why why
Drown the screams numb the fears cry cry cry
Pay the rent, sell your years die die die
Work to live live to work why why why
Drown the screams numb the fears cry cry cry
Pay the rent sell your years die die die
