The Paper

We're the only fucking species on the planet

That pays to be here and each year we cause a bunch of damage

God dammit, can't move forward when we running backward

We pay the reaper but can't pay the taxes

We are all slaves to the Dow jones

Begging for the credit, when the interest is our souls

Payment is expected, they reflect it in our goals

No one is protected the infection is viral

Watch it all spiral into the money trap

No coming back things are warming up

While a sun attack, no burning blaq

You can't stop it when you're being complacent

Won't change when nobody gon change shit

Can't drop the topic despite the optics

Your life is locked in the fight for profits

That's why you lost it inside your office

And it don't stop

Don't live your life for the paper

The paper can't pay for your soul

Don't live your life for the paper

You don't have to pay to break the mould

They manipulating us with their agendas

Wanna make a blue collar worker wish they was a big spender

They hit up a big lender for money they can't tender

Wasn't in they best interest so the interest was the ender

The simple way we feed into the system

Like we pay a fee to then get beat into submission

Then we pay admission to destroy the ecosystem

When there's logical solutions but it costs to much to fix them

So the politicians ditch them while we steady bitchin

Try to demonstrate and make some change but they dismiss it

But all the riots and defiance have a purpose

Cause the price for human life is really worth it

Can't drop the topic despite the optics

Your life is locked in the fight for profits

That's why you lost it inside your office

And it don't stop

Don't live your life for the paper

The paper can't pay for your soul

Don't live your life for the paper

You don't have to pay to break the mould

Can't drop the topic despite the optics

Your life is locked in the fight for profits

That's why you lost it inside your office

And it don't

Can't drop the topic despite the optics

It's like you're locked in the fight for profits

That's why you lost it inside your office

And it don't stop

Don't live your life for the paper

The paper can't pay for your soul

Don't live your life for the paper

You don't have to pay to break the mould
