8 Billion Rats
One life to live and you want to live it
Head in the sand, is that really living
Receiving nothing from what you're giving
But you still trust Babylon
Breaking your back on the wheel that's driven
Life is a bitch and she ain't forgiving
You 'bout to sleep in that grave you digging
But you still trust Babylon
Went from tell-lie-vision
To tell lie phone
More connected than ever but still alone
Only tunnel vision and mindless drones
A couple rats in a maze fighting for the crumbs
Living double lives
Can't recognize
Who we are anymore
Sleepwalking
Sleeping awake
'Cause you don't know who you are anymore
One life to live and you want to live it
Head in the sand, is that really living
Receiving nothing from what you're giving
But you still trust Babylon
Breaking your back on the wheel that's driven
Life is a bitch and she ain't forgiving
You 'bout to sleep in that grave you digging
But you still trust Babylon
Tryna fix tomorrow, but you can't fix your today
On your knees to that god you want to pray
How he gon' save you if you cannot save yourself
But you caught up in this hell
As far as I can tell, you're a slave
One foot in the grave
One of the 8 billion rats running through the maze
Can't look in the mirror 'cause all you see is horror
'Cause you don't know who you are anymore
One life to live and you want to live it
Head in the sand, is that really living
Receiving nothing from what you're giving
But you still trust Babylon
Breaking your back on the wheel that's driven
Life is a bitch and she ain't forgiving
You 'bout to sleep in that grave you digging
But you still trust Babylon
When I open my eyes everyday
I think about how I can break away
Sick of my wasted life
Sick of my wasted life
Sick of wasting life
Sick of wasting my life
Sick of wasting my life
I'm sick of this wasted life
Sick of this wasted life
Sick of this wasted life
Sick of this wasted life, so
One life to live and you want to live it
Head in the sand, is that really living
Receiving nothing from what you're giving
But you still trust Babylon
Breaking your back on the wheel that's driven
Life is a bitch and she ain't forgiving
You 'bout to sleep in that grave you digging
But you still trust Babylon
Wake up, wake up
Head in the sand, is that really living
Receiving nothing from what you're giving
But you still trust Babylon
Breaking your back on the wheel that's driven
Life is a bitch and she ain't forgiving
You 'bout to sleep in that grave you digging
But you still trust Babylon
Went from tell-lie-vision
To tell lie phone
More connected than ever but still alone
Only tunnel vision and mindless drones
A couple rats in a maze fighting for the crumbs
Living double lives
Can't recognize
Who we are anymore
Sleepwalking
Sleeping awake
'Cause you don't know who you are anymore
One life to live and you want to live it
Head in the sand, is that really living
Receiving nothing from what you're giving
But you still trust Babylon
Breaking your back on the wheel that's driven
Life is a bitch and she ain't forgiving
You 'bout to sleep in that grave you digging
But you still trust Babylon
Tryna fix tomorrow, but you can't fix your today
On your knees to that god you want to pray
How he gon' save you if you cannot save yourself
But you caught up in this hell
As far as I can tell, you're a slave
One foot in the grave
One of the 8 billion rats running through the maze
Can't look in the mirror 'cause all you see is horror
'Cause you don't know who you are anymore
One life to live and you want to live it
Head in the sand, is that really living
Receiving nothing from what you're giving
But you still trust Babylon
Breaking your back on the wheel that's driven
Life is a bitch and she ain't forgiving
You 'bout to sleep in that grave you digging
But you still trust Babylon
When I open my eyes everyday
I think about how I can break away
Sick of my wasted life
Sick of my wasted life
Sick of wasting life
Sick of wasting my life
Sick of wasting my life
I'm sick of this wasted life
Sick of this wasted life
Sick of this wasted life
Sick of this wasted life, so
One life to live and you want to live it
Head in the sand, is that really living
Receiving nothing from what you're giving
But you still trust Babylon
Breaking your back on the wheel that's driven
Life is a bitch and she ain't forgiving
You 'bout to sleep in that grave you digging
But you still trust Babylon
Wake up, wake up
