Sacrifice
Ya got big dreams but you never sleep
Gotta get eight days outta every week
And it's not that you're a snake
You just like productivity for it's own sake
Well, I can see your body crumbling
'Cause it can't support the way you live
And maybe you just can't have it all
Tick tock, 'cause something's gotta give
Well I don't wanna see your human sacrifice
I can see the exhaustion in your eyes
It's crumbing, shifting, changing, sputtering
And one day, it'll all fall through
Your disposable people haven't long to stay
And it should be a crime how it doesn't pay
Some are born the tortoise, and some are born hares
But you'll pay for your position like they'll pay for theirs
And I can see your mansion crumbling
'Cause it can't support the way you live
And the rodents feed on your excess
Tick tock, 'cause something's gotta give
Well I don't wanna see your human sacrifice
Can't you see the terror in their eyes
It's crumbing, shifting, changing, sputtering
And one day, it'll all fall through
So where do you see yourself ten years from now
At the top of the world?
What a sick and broken world
Once you've extracted what you need to get there
Is that how you get there?
Is that how you get there?
Is that the human sacrifice?
Well I don't wanna see your human sacrifice
Can't you see the terror in my eyes
It's crumbing, shifting, changing, sputtering
And one day, it'll all fall through
One day, it'll all fall through
Gotta get eight days outta every week
And it's not that you're a snake
You just like productivity for it's own sake
Well, I can see your body crumbling
'Cause it can't support the way you live
And maybe you just can't have it all
Tick tock, 'cause something's gotta give
Well I don't wanna see your human sacrifice
I can see the exhaustion in your eyes
It's crumbing, shifting, changing, sputtering
And one day, it'll all fall through
Your disposable people haven't long to stay
And it should be a crime how it doesn't pay
Some are born the tortoise, and some are born hares
But you'll pay for your position like they'll pay for theirs
And I can see your mansion crumbling
'Cause it can't support the way you live
And the rodents feed on your excess
Tick tock, 'cause something's gotta give
Well I don't wanna see your human sacrifice
Can't you see the terror in their eyes
It's crumbing, shifting, changing, sputtering
And one day, it'll all fall through
So where do you see yourself ten years from now
At the top of the world?
What a sick and broken world
Once you've extracted what you need to get there
Is that how you get there?
Is that how you get there?
Is that the human sacrifice?
Well I don't wanna see your human sacrifice
Can't you see the terror in my eyes
It's crumbing, shifting, changing, sputtering
And one day, it'll all fall through
One day, it'll all fall through
