Drag me underneath, pulling teeth, kicking, screaming
Please, it can't be this easy just to smother me
When honestly, I need some consistency
I'm just going back and forth between all the things keeping me buried
Try to keep my head down and just stay inside my lane
But as it all gets worse at every single turn
You get accustomed to the pain
Claw and scratch as they fight for the fucking scraps
Let 'em pray and beg and think that you know best
Let 'em line up and confess as you take what little's left
As you lead us to our death in more pointless wars that don't make sense
Drag me underneath lock and key
Stuck in the American dream
I pray to God on my knees
And I beg him to take this thorn from me
Are we all really okay with less?
Do we feel like we deserve this?
It's just thoughts and prayers to a silent god and the leaders who forgot us
There is no karma, no justice, just the level of shit we put up with
Not a promise, just a sales pitch, so you can gut us and stay rich
We're all gutted, make a new stitch
All hail to the gods over a broken people
We're born to be enslaved, and we're all fearful and hateful
If I were you, I'd be embarrassed to say
The world I made was such a broken, pathetic waste
If I were you, I'd be embarrassed to say
The world I made was such a broken, pathetic waste
