Living in suburbia everyday Punch drunk off the radio waves They tell me when I grow up I'll be free to get paid Why do I feel like I'm trapped in a maze? Final exam, SAT, the right list I am bigger than this, I'm fearless yet forced to submit Another cog is what they need Just another motherfucker been scared to succeed I say the youth, they have no power I'd sign a non-aggression pact if you'd put down the apparatus But I'm just a slave unit with the killing floor status I'd send society burning when my kill switch klicks But I'm a little too addicted to this Money, the pursuit of capital gains I'm the perfect cookie cut out, can't you tell I'm in pain? Scared to look over my shoulder for all the ghosts behind me 'Cause when you fail, you fail, and one likes a loser, jerk I say the youth, they have no power Let's take a trip to the industrial district Everytime I pull the lever, I get deeper in this Sinkhole that I can't get out Strikebreaker equals money and political clout And everytime I look into this screen That motherfucker inside trying to choke me Got me running on the treadmill, my future before me The past is but a dream, I'm dead, I'm dead
