Mental Slavery (We Can’t Quit) Lyrics by Ancient Shapes

Silent Rave

2018

We can’t quit
Something buzzing in my head, man
We can’t quit
And I’ve done everything to understand why
We can’t quit
Oh no no no, not yet
We can’t quit
This mental slavery
We got a really big job but the hours are long
And we can’t seem to find if they’d pass for a song
We get no money and for nothing and our kicks for free
So we fed ‘em to the genies in the industry
Give us something, anything, better to do
We’re not sitting in the sun in the afternoon
Something’s gotta give and it’s gotta give soon
Before we make another masterpiece and give it to you just because
We can’t quit
Something buzzing in my head, man
We can’t quit
Yes, I’ve done everything to understand why
We can’t quit
Oh no no no no, not yet
We can’t quit
This mental slavery
Yeah, we’re working ?
I’ve got an elephant heart and it’s got something to say
Yes and we can rhyme love in a million ways
All except for the one where we all get paid
Gonna work like a devil ’til the job gets done
But we shouldn’t make a penny ‘cause it seems like fun
Now something in my mind is saying that ain’t right
Nevermind it seems fine, we’ll probably make it in time
But I’m coming down with mental slavery (slavery)
But I’m coming down with mental slavery (slavery)
But I’m coming down with mental slavery (slavery)
But I’m coming down with mental slavery (slavery)
And I can’t quit
