It's been too hard living, I'm afraid
Throw up both my hands, my man

See it's the same people who said, 'Go to Uni, learn all of this,'
Telling us, 'Say please, and you can pay our mortgages,
'Remember to say, "cheese!" while you're watching all your organs drip
'Down the sides of the machine we've caught you in.'
'Son, don't just be a 9-to-5er, when you suck my dick use more saliva,
'Do you only show up for the payslip? How can the company thrive if you earn more than a fiver?
'If you still feel alive at the end of a shift, or when we eventually let you retire?
'If you feel tired, you just gotta work harder! Can't afford to get fired so you gotta work harder!'

The hopeless aspirations over half of the nation have, of being the 0.01,
Have led us to this hopeless situation where we'd rather lick the boot
Than take a knee in solidarity, as long as somebody is booted
Harder than me, and you, used to be we, community, right?
I dunno, I'm too young to remember, just a lifetime ago could've been hung and dismembered,
And still could.
And the cops would stop to cop a selfie with my bruised corpse,
Hundreds of years waiting, has the other shoe dropped?
Being free to fuck with others isn't freedom, and
Hate's no place to call home.
