Break the Bank

Living every day in the hole, I can't take anymore
 Punch in, punch out
 But I can't cash that check until the quota's met
 So I'm living in the shadow of a mount of debt
 How can I live, how can I sleep
 When I can't get a dollar so my family can eat?
 I hate the game, but we gotta survive
 So I'm doing all I can just to keep us alive
 They'll take a life for a life, it doesn't matter,
 If you give them the chance, and they take it
 Then they'll give you the knife
 Or maybe burn you from the inside out
 Terminated by a so-called justifiable right
 And while they're sitting on their asses all day
 We work our hands to the bone
 For what?
 Even though we know nothing's ever gonna fucking change
 How can I live, how can I sleep
 When I can't get a dollar so my family can eat?
 I hate the game, but we gotta survive
 So I'm doing all I can just to keep us alive
 But I don't want to be another face in the masses
 Still a dog without a bone at the feet of his master
 Still picking up the scraps under the table
 But it's just not enough, no it's just not enough
 'Cause I'm hungry, I need some sustenance
 But I won't swallow all those lies
 I'd rather choke on my pride
 Or else we'll keep slaving away,
 And soon we'll all be dead if we don't take down the pace
 Others choose ignorance rooted in apathy
 They've taken the bait
 It's so cold when no one wants to walk this path with me
 But it's not too late
 Is it too late?
 Can anybody set me free?
 Just set me free
 Fuck all these tyrants
 Cut my vocal cords but I'll never be silenced
 I'm a soft speaker capable of devastating violence
 So fuck the book, I've got a story to tell
 I'm done shoveling the coals they use to fuel this hell
 Yeah, you broke my bank, well I could break your necks
 But you just laugh
 You think I'm not that cold
 A revolution made of one man
 No pitchfork, no gun
 He's got a pen in his hand
