Hazard Payback Lyrics by ​c0ntrast

0

Verse 1
Cold, hard, unforgiving surfaces
The type of work that makes a person question what their purpose is
I'm lurking in the furnaces of hell, forgive the smell
Of burning flesh; concerning? Yes, but what, pray tell
Would you have me do instead? "Go back to school," they said
As if I could balance that with the need to stay fed
I've barely got the discipline to habitually get to bed
So I'm not trying to take on a mountain range of debt
Where benefit of the doubt is only given by the naive
And leading by example’s just a map that leads to madness
Old timers walk with heads down looking utterly defeated
Existing only as a warning, please don't let them go unheeded
Yet the loop in which you spend your weekends keeps getting repeated
As recovery from humbly doing what they claim is needed
Shit, one of these days, I'll burn this place down to the ground
Til then, I'm lying to myself: "It's good enough for now"

Sample
"When I clap my hands twice, you will wake up. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
"So, tell me about your week."

Verse 2
Lacerate the master's face for lack of hazard pay
Plus the way they agitate, I swear i'm gonna make them bastards pay
Sleeper agent activates to grab the shank and stab his way
Into a new era where them sons of bitches' cash don't weigh
Half the weight of globe on shoulders that it used to
And things that once soothed you are fully future-proof
These fuckers screwed the pooch but every dog has its day
I'm about to use this leash as noose for dudes who kept us trapped in chains
To hell with what the boomers do and motherfuck the magistrate
They set the world on fire then left their offspring all the ashes - Great!
Good luck getting that aftertaste washed off your kids' apoca-lips
Guess Father Time's a deadbeat and Mother Nature's a toxic bitch ("What else do you think about?")
If you think it's all gone to shit it just means you're getting old ("Married... with Children")
In the crease of maudlin-on-lackadaisy centerfold ("You think about your family?")
I watch it all with the volume down, fucking Christina Applegate ("I just turn down the volume and think about fucking Christina Applegate.)
Make her asshole gape, congratulations on the accolade
(*clap clap*)

Verse 3
Hear our hero hollering? He’s down to zero-tolerance
And limping, it's a symptom of the way the workweek slaughtered him
Saints with hearts of sin let satanists come marching in
Now a martyr for mass marketing, what a fucking bargain, bitch!
Crammed into a locker that the upper-classes farted in
I'm targeting them charlatans as vengeance for these starving kids
A pirate on that “argh” shit with plans that are non-partisan
Impartial to your party, here to show you what a farce it is
Imparting them with anarchist philosophy and Marxism
Rue the day, I’m barking at narcissists for the harm they did
Set flames to propaganda, dump the ashes in a garbage bin
Shed the fear the deeper that we peer into the hearts of men
Spark engine on a tank and the White House is where I’m parking it
No regard for anything but what their profit margin is?
We’ll toss them in the water laced with arsenic that sharks swim in
Snooze on alarm, reset that nightmare, then we start again
