lyrics

What you see is what you get
You’re not locked in your sequence yet
Your labour’s all you have to give
Your life’s prorated perforated
Breaking up is hard to do
But don’t think that they care bout you
You just go where they feed you best
Everyone will understand
It’s true
Each according to their ability
Each according to their greed
You have to calculate net present value
Based on future needs
The index ticking by you better
Jump aboard this rising tide
The ship is sinking but we still have some time
Please enjoy the ride

Im drinking single malt in Dublin
Business registered at Ugland
And these bank accounts be doubling
While I’m doing next to nothing

Why do we all just put our nose to the grindstone

It all starts as a lark, a shot in the dark,
Just a way to pay bills, cheap thrills, become the daily drills
Put your head down, dont look around, dont frown, turn it upside down
Just keep moving, face forward, dont be untoward, be friendly
Unending, pretending, unascending, but not falling
You don't have a calling,
Face forward, head in the game
This is a family, bro, part of the team
You sink into it, the future's lit, just keep showing up and shoveling shit
Day by day and bit by bit, in the blink of an eye the years fly by
No reasons why but your still alive so dont ask why
Dont cry, you're getting by
You're getting by
