Lyrics
I've got a pretty piece of paper Sealed in tempered glass Hanging on my wall They told me it was a ticket On a one way road to success They told it was a guarantee But what they didn't tell me: It was a guarantee For a life spent slaving for my own greed Cause it's really just a cog in a machine That's killing my mother Just a bullet in a gun pointed straight at my father Just a f*cking collar i get to wear And you expect me to live like this? Til' i break my will to see another way Til' i'm tired, broken and empty just like them How do i tell them their entire lives were wasted? Stolen from them by habit and routine Perpetuated by their desire to breed In the end am i just a tool Just a part of their machine? Now i'm staring at my reflection And i don't know whether to feel proud or disgusted And you expect me to live like this: An old and broken man who said his piece Who threw out the truth and let it die in the streets Lived a life that he didn't want Loved a wife that he'd rather have not Keeping himself company between worn and weathered sheets A model constructed to copy and follow Prescribed lies coated, f*cking easy to swallow Degrees of happiness like shades of gray Never living a life just filling a series of days And you expect me to live like this? And you expect me to live like this? And you expect me to live like this
