Story behind the song
On the train home after travelling on tubes all day and it was getting to me.
Lyrics
Intro:
This aint no way to live man! I'm sick of this shhhhhhh!
Yeah, but I've gotta get paid man, you know what I'm sayin',
It don't mean it's right though, no way!
Verse1:
This can't be right working 9-5 and struggling,
Just to survive an all day fight,
stressed out, I can't even sleep at night,
then I'm woken up at first light, my first sight,
The sun shinin' bright, with all it's might right through my blind,
It's daytime, the crack of dawn so it's back to the grind,
With no time 'cos we're slaves to this system designed to bind,
Your body soul and mind, so determination's the only I'm gonna find,
A way out of this, it's like my life is worthless it don't mean spit,
Live to serve, to pay the tax and that's it,
Thinking is it really worth it!? Should I end it all!?
Nah! That just aint me! here to last long, made strong,
through so much adversity, plus I don't give up that easily,
I just soldier on fighting for equality, amongst all this slavery!
