Buy In from Condition by Les Gavels

I’d like to say I’m living the dream,
Funny thing is that the joke’s on me.
Taking orders from crooks, and I'm dependent on warlords
I’m running again on empty

“I can’t fucking take it”, she says
Masking discontent with receipts and a smile
I’m not living off of these wages
And if I started to break free I’d be eaten alive

So, I lie awake in the shade
Letting the breeze cool the burn and ease the pain
No more political compromise, at a loss for words
Thank god the weather changes everyday

And finally we’re starting to see some progress
The economy teetering on collapse
Seems like no one wants to buy this shit anymore
It’s time to pull out the shiv and redistribute the fat

We've become worthless, just mechanisms
Replaceable by default, while the execs get the bonus
So I put the bread on my credit line, and stave off the notion
That every day of getting older, my skin becomes that much more tender for the director to...CUT CUT CUT, can't bear the weight!

Spent a lifetime giving myself to the world...
Now is not the time for a public announcement, now is not the time
Now is the time to silently aggrandize, mobilize with all you have left
To wait for an opening, and move in accordance, in protest of the surveilling sun

…a way out is what I need now
