Function or Perish Lyrics by Parasite Inc.

Time Tears Down

2013

We are forced by rules and worth
Transformed to spineless whores
Blinded from consume and media
Outwardness and greed
A nightmare, nicely wrapped in gold
Stuffed in our heads
And are we just accept
In our human density
Bread and games modern
I call it enslavement
A mental enslavement and you call it life

We crawl, lick asses all the day
We steal and we betray
We work and creep for more success
Panting for wastely richness
Envious
Envious of the one, who's got the biggest car
Who's got the biggest gun
And of course the biggest one
We rush behind all trends
There is no time to spend!
We would buy a heap of shit if some trend demands it

At expense of all others we suck up through this life
That is how we learned to be, that is all, all we can see

Run, run for your life
In a world cold and insane, totally insane
Carve out your life
In a world where only the bastards survive
Choke on your lies
In a world so insensate, damn insensate
Accept the truth, cause it is just like it is:
Function or perish

We have to function or perish
We're slaves of their world
And to stay alive
We sold our souls

Run, run for your life
In a world cold and insane, totally insane
Carve out your life
In a world where only the bastards survive
Choke on your lies
In a world so insensate, damn insensate
Accept the truth, cause it is just like it is:
Function or perish
