Nobody's Got Any Meat On Their Bones

And nobody's got any meat on their bones anymore
Never seen so many frail little people before
It never gets lifted
The tension never breaks

Nobody cares who's sitting on the throne anymore
We've all grown too comfortable down sitting on the floor
The focus shifted
They're raising up the stakes

Everybody's worried about the money they make
Hey-yay, yeah, oh

And nobody's got any gravel in their guts these days
That silly sense of urgency just never goes away
It never goes quiet
The ticking never stops

Everybody's living in a rut these days
A million people climbing up a million different ways
But they're never gonna find it
Never gonna reach the top

Everybody's working 'til their body fucking drops
Hey-hey, yeah-oh

It's what you do, is on your mind, is how you feel
It's where you go, it's who you know, it's how you deal
It's how you talk, it's how you walk, it's how you dress
Whatever gives you that illusion of success
Don't tell me that went over your head
I'll tell you, you'll understand before you're dead

It's what you do, is on your mind, is how you think
It's how you eat, it's how you breathe, it's how you blink
It's what you learn, it's what you earn, it's what you own
As long as you're okay with doing it alone
Don't tell me I gotta make myself more clear
I'll tell you

And nobody's got any meat on their bones 'round here
This is where the spirit goes to rot and disappear
They're gonna start you spinning
They're gonna bleed you dry

Everybody's stuck on their own down here
This machine is running off of blood and sweat and tears
But you'll never be finished
They're never satisfied
They got us thinking getting rich is dignified
Hey-hey, yeah-oh
