Lyrics

Yeah
Rip that top soil up, level the pavement
This looks like a good supermarket placement
Direct deposits and bank statements
Either we're at work or at home in our containment
See, I been paying attention, we're only paying rent
A small space for a small time, it doesn't make sense
Who really cares what you own when you're gone?
Seems that working for retirement is all we've ever known
Looking for the finish line on the production line
And if you flatline, you'll be replaced in no time
My general foreman got murdered out here in broad day
Company ain't miss a beat, we punch the clock the same way
Human life is sacrifice for your nine to five
Exchange your time for the money
'Cause you need it to survive
It's a reward system hanging in the balance of hands
Just getting callouses, not intelligence or talent
They don't want that, they want your body and your energy
Profits for the industry, not profits for divinity
You're a code, a number, and nothing more
Bank accounts, social security and your credit score, and that's you
And that's the way it's going 'round here
Got our minds locked in down here
Only one way out that I found here
Look like we in the devil's playground here
All this COVID-19 and doing the right thing
When living the right way is becoming a pipe dream
We're decreasing our connections and increasing our confusion
For some reasons, we're assuming, all legitimately proving
We're just doin' what we're doing and changing everyday
All these little bits of freedom that we're quick to give away
Mom and dad ain't gonna protest
They just tryna go to bed at a decent hour
Go to work and get that daily bread
So, if the school's closed, what's the other option?
Homeschool the kids, so they can watch them
Lose that other income now, daddy pulling double shifts
So rely on the government, now you see where the trouble is?
And what's little Junior's education like?
Then they change math so much, momma gotta learn it like him
No social interactions or skill sets
Just months of preparation for test scores to reflect that
They're eligible to move on, who's next?
They want you to become a worker
'Cause a thinker is a threat
But the libraries keep closing, and that's a fact
So where are they gonna get the answers from?
Google that
And that's the way it's going 'round here
Got our minds locked in down here
Only one way out that I found here
Look like we in the devil's playground here
I'm here to tell you 'bout the devil
The devilish mighty dollar, man
We're breaking all our backs
For all to blue up on our collar
But for what now?
Neighbors sitting at home, and they don't want a fucking job
They're getting government chrome
I'm on my third tour off and I'm missin' the road
Sick of seeing this sinister shit that's being administered
It's a god damn shame seeing cities are split
We ain't got a damn clue if or when it'll end
Man, I fought for independence, every word and every sentence
Every move I ever made, they always label me a menace
So I'm right, never wrong with my middle finger high like
Fuck it, I'll probably catch Corona and die
But I'ma live life, I ain't afraid of the devil
I've spent my whole damn life being known as a rebel
You take your time off, I'll take the time to be better
See, I was raised to get it done, it never mattered the weather
Come on and rise up!
And that's the way it's going 'round here
Got our minds locked in down here
Only one way out that I found here
Look like we in the devil's playground here
And that's the way it's going 'round here
Got our minds locked in down here
Only one way out that I found here
Look like we in the devil's playground here
Look like we in the devil's playground here
Look like we in the devil's playground here
Look like we in the devil's playground here
Look like we in the devil's playground here
