Working class scum of the world consume And commute and imbibe and repeat Living upon borrowed money and land that Is owned by the hidden elite
Hope is manufactured between the commercials And is taken to heart in the child Credit line kicks in to sustain aspirations, And another slave is thrown on the pile
You labor Tread water Fed grain and Then slaughtered
Economic system is a cage in pastels Orchestrated to keep you in debt Entertainment serves as a neon distraction Just so you forget
A life spent eagerly paying the price But never acknowledging the cost
Don't bother asking when we start to fight back The battle is over, we've already lost
You are a wage slave I am a wage slave We're all wage slaves We're all wage slaves
