Lyric

Countless resumes rejected after hours of revision

Dreams crushed by systems built on algorithmic strategies

The walls are closing in on every option

I’m sinking as I shout for air

Thousands of jobs but not a single place for me to leave a mark

Bound by the choices made so long ago

Laid off before I’m hired, already tired

There’s gotta be a better way to live

Paychecks vanishing quicker than the ink can dry

Living to work while I’m dying just to feel alive

Another month of hell

Another debt to chase

This cycle’s grinding me in place

These chains get heavier with every passing day

I’m breaking underneath the weight

Thousands of jobs but not a single place for me to leave a mark

Bound by the choices made so long ago

Laid off before I’m hired, already tired

There’s gotta be a better way to live

Empty promises echo inside my head

Every hollow lie repeats the things they said

No more! Respect our lives now!

No more! Give us back our time!

No more! We won’t allow this!

Won’t live to work!

Thousands of jobs but not a single chance for me to make my voice heard

Bound by decisions made without a choice

Laid off before I’m hired, they’re all just liars

I know that there’s a better way to live in peace
