All this time you've been chained to the wheel You're so numb you forgot how to feel Sold yourself for a nine to five For false futures you peddled your life Now they have you in a stranglehold Do as we say or die in the cold Break your will on the grinding stone Taking your mind body and soul Empty heart, empty life Slave to the bottom line Tell me why even try As you wait to die Why can't you see you're being used? By your hand you tied your own noose Choking on lies you tell yourself To justify this living hell Empty heart, empty life Slave to the bottom line Tell me why even try As you wait to die Fall back in line I can see the light leave your eyes With the ghost of your misspent time Knowing only regret and shame When you're gone who will know your name Empty heart, empty life Slave to the bottom line Tell me why even try As you wait to die All you were, all you are Only worth the bottom line Tell me why even try As you wait to die
