Human Machines - Broadside

Working and working my life away

With nothing to show but my bills are paid

But inside you know

That you’re all alone

What can you do

When the world moves on without you?

I chose a path

That wasn’t there before

I’m not limiting myself

To just one single door

But you’ll always be tied down

Restricted by the pain that grips your life

I felt it

So focused

Just barely scraping by

Working and working my life away

With nothing to show but my bills are paid

Consume, repeat

And force yourself to sleep

Weak hands, sore feet

But it makes you feel complete

The weight of the world’s got you

Fallen to your knees

So learn how to crawl before

You stand on your feet

You can’t believe

That you can feel complete

While questioning to fill your tank

Or maybe you should eat

If somehow you can make it through

Working knuckles black and blue

Somehow finding time for you

Some will win

Some may lose

We are all drowning in an ocean of greed

The rich will climb your shoulders

Just to breathe

Consume, repeat

And force yourself to sleep

Weak hands, sore feet

But it makes you feel complete

The weight of the world’s got you

Fallen to your knees

So learn how to crawl before

You stand on your feet

I know you’re weak and tired

You feel like givin in

You question if it’s really worth it

You’ve got to look inside

You’ve got to realize

Remember that the struggle’s worth it

Inside you know that you’re all alone

But still you try

And so you

Consume, repeat

And force yourself to sleep

Weak hands, sore feet

But it makes you feel complete

The weight of the world’s got you

Fallen to your knees

So learn how to crawl before

You stand on your feet
