Fifty One Fifty

Why did I set the alarm When I'm working 'round the clock Attrition through blue collar jobs Success is just double-talk Frayed nerves, no end in sight You can count on death for the next deadline There's no justice, this is out of spite Goodbye you sheep I'm falling out of line I've tried to make a living cuz living ain't for free I don't know about you, but this living ain't for me We ain't free, that took me long enough to see I am falling down and I'm taking you with me Gotta cool down, gotta stop this bummer It's a 'Gang Land Thing' and jerks wanna brawl Sometimes you're the Louisville slugger Too bad, this time you're the ball Bruised and battered you seek revenge Drive by shooting but your aim is wretched Crashed your car, beg for penitence Aiming for your leg, 'cause I got common sense I've tried to make a living cuz living ain't for free I don't know about you, but this living ain't for me We ain't free, that took me long enough to see I am falling down and I'm taking you with me How can you still pretend Mow your lawn and paint your fence You smile, but the devil grins The bullet tells truth from sin Clear a path or else I shoot my way Drilling bullets through your skull till it bursts Scattered brains all across this place Convinced we all get what we deserve Did you really think that life was a game Where you can murder, rape, kill and reset Hypocrisy renders existence to pain Embrace the leaden taste of death I've tried to make a living cuz living ain't for free I don't know about you, but this living ain't for me We ain't free, that took me long enough to see Suicide by cop seems like the better way for me I could've kept on living a worthless life Living a lie, but I didn't I could've played along to your perfidious game And die of shame, but I didn't You should give a man freedom, instead of Letting him run free, but you didn't You could have given a fuck, not try your luck Avoid carnage, but you didn't Just admit it
