They said work hard
They said play fair
They said it would be enough
They lied
They lied
Rent goes up, paycheck stays small
Bills hit hard like a wrecking ball
Every month feels rigged from the start
Work till it hurts just to fall apart
We did everything they told us to
Still buried deep, still sinking further
Hope feels like a bill I cannot pay
Dreams we once had slowly fading away
We are worth less every passing day
We were promised more than this decay
We were promised more than this
We were promised more than this
Prices rise, wages stay flat
They blame us for the mess they had
Credit cards just to survive
Borrow tomorrow to stay alive
Call it freedom, call it choice
Put the chains on, kill the voice
Hope feels like a bill I cannot pay
Dreams we once had slowly fading away
We are worth less every passing day
We were promised more than this decay
We were promised more than this
We were promised more than this
Time is money, so they steal our time
Break our backs, cross the profit line
We're just numbers, easy to cut
Bleed us dry, grind us to dust
How did living get so hard
When we did everything we were asked
Work more hours
Sacrifice
Still can't get ahead in life
This isn't laziness
This isn't pride
This is a system built to bleed us dry
This isn't laziness
This isn't pride
This is a system built to bleed us dry
Hope feels like a bill I cannot pay
Dreams we once had slowly fading away
We are worth less every passing day
We were promised more than this decay
We were promised more than this
We were promised more than this
If this is winning, let it burn
We gave everything, got nothing earned
