SANCTIONED PARASITE

[​Verse 1] ​Another sunrise bleedin' through the grime Earnin' calluses on another man's dime Pounded by the clock, slave to the machine Drowning in the madness of a world obsessed and mean Corporate sirens screaming in my head Working like a dog just to keep the family fed I sweat through the concrete, I break through the bone While you're sitting easy on your lazy throne. ​[Pre-Chorus] ​I build the foundation! You leech off the crown! I bleed for the kingdom while you tear it down! No pride in your hands, no grit in your chest Just a parasite sucking on the rest! ​[Chorus] ​THIS AIN’T NO JUSTICE! THIS IS SCREAMIN’ HATE! A BROKEN SYSTEM SANCTIONED BY THE STATE! I SELL MY SOUL JUST TO PAY THE TOLL WHILE YOU CHILL OUT, OUT OF ALL CONTROL! TAKING MY SWEAT! TAKING MY LIFE! FEEDING YOUR COMFORT WITH MY BLOOD AND STRIFE! IT’S A GODDAMN LIE! A CROOKED GAME! YOU GET THE PASS AND I GET THE BLAME! ​[Verse 2] ​Two PM in the afternoon, sleeping through the day Living on the dollars that they took from my pay No sweat on your brow, no dirt on your skin You laugh at the hustle while the rest of us grind in Zero ambition, coasting on the ride Shielded by a system with no fucking pride I pull the heavy weight, you just drag the chain Feeding off my stress, thriving on my pain! ​[Pre-Chorus] ​I build the foundation! You leech off the crown! I bleed for the kingdom while you tear it down! No pride in your hands, no grit in your chest Just a parasite sucking on the rest! ​[Chorus] ​THIS AIN’T NO JUSTICE! THIS IS SCREAMIN’ HATE! A BROKEN SYSTEM SANCTIONED BY THE STATE! I SELL MY SOUL JUST TO PAY THE TOLL WHILE YOU CHILL OUT, OUT OF ALL CONTROL! TAKING MY SWEAT! TAKING MY LIFE! FEEDING YOUR COMFORT WITH MY BLOOD AND STRIFE! IT’S A GODDAMN LIE! A CROOKED GAME! YOU GET THE PASS AND I GET THE BLAME! ​[Guitar Solo / Breakdown] ​[Heavy chugging riffs, double-bass drum pounding] WAKE UP! SLAVE TO THE MACHINE! PAWN IN THE SYSTEM! BREAK IT DOWN! [​Bridge] ​How long can the engine run on empty air? How long can the working man swallow despair? When the ones who build it have had enough... THE WHOLE FUCKING TOWER GOES DOWN IN THE DUST! [​Chorus] ​THIS AIN’T NO JUSTICE! THIS IS SCREAMIN’ HATE! A BROKEN SYSTEM SANCTIONED BY THE STATE! I SELL MY SOUL JUST TO PAY THE TOLL WHILE YOU CHILL OUT, OUT OF ALL CONTROL! TAKING MY SWEAT! TAKING MY LIFE! FEEDING YOUR COMFORT WITH MY BLOOD AND STRIFE! IT’S A GODDAMN LIE! A CROOKED GAME! YOU GET THE PASS AND I GET THE BLAME! ​[Outro] ​SANCTIONED PARASITE! No justice! NO PEACE!
