Grinding Machine Lyrics by Devi McCallion

10$

0

Don't blame yourself for getting trapped inside a loop
Of pain fear & insecurity because everyone is trapped here too
To different degrees
Its a symptom of our own minds and the social machinery
That surrounds us that absolutely wants to grind us into to dust

Yeah, the world would love to tear your skin off and turn it into money
Yeah, the world would love to tell you you ever aren’t worth a pile of coins the weight of your body
Yeah, the world would love to pay you a dollar an hour and say you aren't worth anything
Yeah, the world would love to drain you and chew you up and burn your bones for energy

So if you can, develop strategies to not be eaten by that machine
Seek control in your own life and seek that power by your own means
Even though you'll be told lies, if you’re unemployed, you still deserve to eat
You deserve to have things & security & you deserve to be happy

Just know it's so obvious and clear
A society that chooses to starve it's sick and poor is ruled by fear
Yeah, I know they'll put that guilt upon your head
I've wanted to be dead because I had no way to pay for rent

But it's a trick, it's a system of pain
It's a hole they try to cut in you to make you accept a seven dollar wage
But it’s a trick, it’s a system of pain
Because nobody would accept that treatment unless they were so afraid

So when it hurts, you gotta just float yourself away
If you can, even though it feels you're anchored by the pain
Even if it means laying in bed and sleeping for the whole day
Don’t allow yourself to be buried underneath the manufactured pain and fear
It's alright
Just do what you can
