lyrics

LIFE’S A GIFT

Working hard now, feeling empty
Sacrificing time for safety
Synthesised to keep me reaching
Just another drug they're dealing

Course it's all a fuckin game
That I'll never learn how to play
Didn't want to anyway
But I'm the rat the rich make race
And if I don't then I don't get
Enough lunch to keep me fed
Working more now, feeling empty
God, please strike me down already

If life's a gift
Then my receipt
Is the grenade
Between my teeth

Go!
It’s gonna blow!

Working harder, dying faster
Still no money, still disaster
Spending more on life's sick pleasures
To counteract these trying measures

This is all some fucked up game
That I never agreed to play
Hand to mouth, I cannot save
A penny for the things I crave
People dying for the myth
That the more you play, the more they give
Ain't no pride in working hard
To get buried in the bosses' yard

If life's a gift
Then my receipt
Is the grenade
Between my teeth

Go!
It’s gonna blow!

Clenched fists, resist
Give it up or eat shit
No one gets to be rich

Go!
It’s gonna blow!
(Now!)
