Distraction
Every day the same wake up call (you’ve got to crawl!)
Never really awake you just stare (you’re just there!)
It’s the system that’s in a rut
Knowledge is a side effect
Of perfect marks and shut mouths
(grade our silence!)
If I’m to get ahead
If I’m to make a change
My 15 years will be
Wasted all the same
And I can’t win
I can’t break even
And I can never
Ever quit the game
And once I’m on the other side
I’ll forget everything they said
But I’ll be fucked again
The cycle never ever ends
So enter the nine to five
Empty your forty-five
Either way you’re scraping by
Anyway you’re still alive
