Weather McNabb - Adapt Lyrics

So happy to meet you face to face
I've heard so much about this place
Do what you must just to survive
Your soul's for sale from nine to five
Your soul's for sale from nine to five

This isn't what I expected
This isn't what I had planned
This isn't what you told me would happen
But I'll adapt
I will adapt

The question on everyone's mind
If you'd submit, why won't I?
Shifts have been seismic underfoot
Yet you deny they have occurred
Instead it's blame, infantilize
Exsanguinate, then pump with lies
I beg for help, you slam the door
You say you know but goddamn you don't
You say you know but goddamn you don't

This isn't what I expected
This isn't what I had planned
This isn't what you told me would happen
But I'll adapt
I will adapt
That isn't what you expected
You thought I would fall in line
You tell me I should feel grateful
But it isn't fine
It isn't fine
No no no no

You and the elders lied to me
You and the elders lied to me
You and the elders lied
You said if I played, there'd be a return
You and the elders lied
The more that I payed, the more that I'd earn
You and the elders lied
You told me to dream but just led me on
You and the elders lied
Said I could become whatever I want
You and the elders lied
You said we were equal, that we were post-race
You and the elders lied
That we each had the power to carve out our place
You and the elders lied
You taught me that sex would not hold me back
You and the elders lied
But every day another attack
You and the elders lied
You taught me to care for this planet earth
You and the elders lied
But you'll look away if it boosts your worth
You and the elders lied
You said share the wealth and open the vault
But now you and the elders are hoarding it all

This isn't what we expected
This isn't what we had planned
This isn't what you told us would happen
But we'll adapt
(We will adapt)
That isn't what you expected
(You and the elders lied)
You thought we would follow, blind
(You and the elders lied)
In your death throes you're hateful
(You and the elders lied)
But out of time
You're out of time
(You and the elders lied)
This isn't what we expected
(You and the elders lied)
We wait to take the power
(You and the elders lied)
One day soon, we'll have the numbers
This world is ours
This world is ours
This world is ours
This world is ours

Die or adapt
