Work Lyrics by Regulate

Regulate

2022

Never get ahead
Work 'til you're dead
Promise of wealth
Is all you're fed
But by now you know
As you hang by your teeth
It's a maze you're in
And you're never meant to leave

The hours
The effort
The life that you're after
Is laughed at and spit on by the bastards in power
You'll never get what you give
But they want you to work harder
The American dream is reserved
No new membеrs

They're so empty
Blindеd by billions
Couldn't begin to relate
Yet they're the ones who decide for civilians
They pick their dollars off your back
Exploit the workforce free of tax
Rent or food, you must decide
Healthcare is a privileged right

The definition of the American dream is a happy way of living that is thought of by many as something that can be achieved by anyone in the U.S. especially by working hard
And people in positions of power propagate this myth so you sell your soul to a job that takes advantage of you, disrespects you and punishes you for unionizing

The hours
The effort
The life that you're after
Is laughed at and spit on by the bastards in power
You'll never get what you give
But they want you to work harder
The American dream is reserved
No new members

It doesn't matter what side you're on
If you're poor and working class, you're done
These things are set to keep you in your place
The fact is if we all united
They'd stand no fucking chance

They're made of money
But that's paper in the wind
Struggle makes you hard
And we could topple all of them
