Scaps
indoctrined insignificance eats at your mortal soul
diligence and duty freedom dies it takes its toll
the noose around your neck will tighten, death will strengthen hold
for years the flesh that was your heart has slowly turned to coal
and you say you get paid
you're a slave to the wage
surviving off the peanuts that get tossed inside your cage
say you get paid
you're a slave to the wage
just seek your crown of shame the madness slowly turns to rage
the blood the sweat and tears collect inside a little cup
you can't go back the clock ticks on the years you've given up
what i wouldn't give just to have another day at work
you sigh and rest, fall into death, you've finally out of luck
a cog inside an iron lung whose gears they have been jammed
by feeding fingers to a starving dog right from the masters hand
a glutton for envy, your life has been bought
your slaves have been caught, just leave us to rot
God it's been nearly 10 years since I saw you guys live in Groningen but this album still resonates me despite being a completely different person than I was back then. Bella Vee
As much as I like the current line up, I do miss the dynamic that Marissa's voice added to the band. Plus, she's one of the better washboard players out there. Terry Aston
