Meds and Taxes

Getting nowhere climbing up from the bottom
You get nothing when your mind is fucked and rotting
Down here, no dreaming, just drowning
Garbage wage slave to a punch clock
Working for someone else's dream under a master's lock
Dead broke, dead tired, dead ends - left alone to decay in a box
Can't pull yourself up by bootstraps when you're under heel
Someone else has to take the wheel, compensation denied
Got fucked without being looked in the eyes
Can't afford time when it's borrowed
Staring contest with a gun's barrel
A black out night of panic and sorrow
Not feeding your body, not healing your body
Getting nowhere climbing up from the bottom
You get nothing when your mind is fucked and rotting
Down here, no dreaming, just drowning
Garbage wage slave to a punch clock
Working for someone else's dream under a master's lock
Dead broke, dead tired, dead ends - left alone to decay in a box
Welcome to historic downtown and out
Population countless according to census counts
Obscene debt amounts, in the red bank accounts, the new clout
Huddle en masse, talk about class
And who has more or less to brag about
Tight-lip every smile
To keep the rotting teeth from falling out of your mouth
And learn to live with not feeding your body
Not healing your body
Not owning your body
Forced to feed your own misery
Not feeding your body, not healing your body, not owning your body
Forced to feed your own misery
Not feeding your body, not healing your body, not owning your body
Forced to feed your own misery
Not feeding your body, not healing your body, not owning your body
Hard lessons to learn, most of us were born to be burned
Generational wealth is for the few, more for them means less for you
They lock you into a ruse, that keeps you unsound and broken
Down here, no dreaming, just drowning
Down here, no dreaming, just drowning
They owe you a body
Down here, no dreaming, just drowning
Down here, down here, they owe you a body
Dead broke, dead tired, dead ends
They owe you a body
Dead broke, dead tired, dead ends
They owe you a body
