Ratrace

Shattered skies raining down unspeakable misery
Swords in hands, I return

Apocalypse now, apocalypse later
No matter what we will all see the end
An ice age away or a nuclear crater
And none of you seem to give a shit
Use and use and use and use and
Fight for resources we cannot claim
Win some lose some give some screw some
Die for the forces who snuff our names

And we all wait for a paycheck
'Cause the green paper rules our lives
And you know I'm right
And we all wait for the day's end
'Cause the time clock rules our lives
And you know I'm right

Try to live now, wait to live later
No matter what we will all die
A promotion in time or perhaps something greater
The standard by which we judge our lives
Take and take and take and take and
Step on somebody to get ahead
Win some lose some give some screw some
Nine to five life, you're already dead

And we all wait for a paycheck
'Cause the green paper rules our lives
And you know I'm right
And we all wait for the day's end
'Cause the time clock rules our lives
And you know I'm right

If you wanna be something more in life
Be something more
Don't make anymore excuses
Don't be anybody's whore
There is no right time or wrong time
There is no time at all
Stand up for yourself or else
We will all watch you fall

And we all wait for a paycheck
'Cause the green paper rules our lives
And you know I'm right
And we all wait for the day's end
'Cause the time clock rules our lives
And you know I'm right

Yeah you know I'm right
Is this how you want to live your life?
