Another Day in Paradise

[Extended guitar intro] [Break] [Verse] They clock us in and we sell our time Trading dreams for nickels and dimes The clock’s a tyrant it breaks my soul Chains of routine swallow me whole Factory floors, office haze, endless florescent light bulb maze We’re modern slaves in an endless daze [Break] [Chorus] Chains of the system drag us down Silent screams slowly breaking me down Politicians lie as the cycle spins We’re born to lose, they’re built to win [Break] [Verse] Screens are always glowing, steal away our nights Feeding us lies one by one in haunting pixel light We scroll for freedom from the day, Rats unable to see our cage Trapped in the code of a digital game [Bridge] We’re the ghosts of a modern grind Modern slaves lost, too broken to unwind But deep inside there's a fire untamed The system contains us with digital chains Their money, No power, No way to get ahead, Just a rat at the feeder bar scrolling until your dead [Guitar solo] [Verse 3] They sell us promises hollow and cold Silver tongues with lies so bold Finally we’ve had enough of their charade The slaves ready to rise, new masters debt to be paid They cower in the Hollywood hills The fear runs screaming up Wall Street Modern slaves together in time, now marching to a different beat [Chorus] Chains of the system drag us down Silent screams slowly breaking me down Hollywood lies as the cycle spins We’re born to lose, they’re built to win [Extended guitar outro]
