Phone alarm blares at 7am...

Bad news: I didn't die in my sleep.

Take a shower and try not to cry...

It's time to turn into an obedient sheep.

(Someone fucking kill me.)

/

Don't fucking talk to me now...

Because I'll say something really mean.

Like that you haven't worked in 20 fucking years...

So you don't get to criticize me.

(Oops, that slipped out. My bad.)

/

I make a dollar, CEO makes a million...

I get chronic back pain, he goes back to the island.

I get yelled at for something that's not my fault.

He gets away with eating babies and sexual assault.

Every rich motherfucker needs a bullet to the skull.

/

My feet hurt like a bitch,

And you're still talking to me.

I want to punch you in the fucking face,

And make all of you bleed.

/

I shouldn't have to work so hard

To make barely enough.

And the managers and higher-ups

Don't give a single fuck.

/

I make a dollar, CEO makes a million...

I get chronic back pain, he goes back to the island.

I get yelled at doing my motherfucking job...

He gets away with raping children and selling them abroad.

Every rich motherfucker needs a sledgehammer to the jaw.

/

Don't you tell me this is better

Than being on the street.

Because the people on the street

Have jobs just like me.

Don't you dare fucking tell me,

This is just how life's gotta be...

The wrong people are suffering,

Too many people are dying.

/

I make a dollar, CEO makes a trillion...

I get fucking spit on, he goes back to his island.

I get bitched at for just being alive...

He gets away with murder and fucking war crimes!

Every rich motherfucker needs...

A bullet to the skull...

A sledgehammer to the jaw.

A knife to the throat.

Dicks cut off with a saw!

/

Every rich motherfucker needs a bullet to the skull.
