[Verse 1] The core is cooking with a toxic glow Management is resting in the VIP suite Cherenkov blue is putting on a show Sipping champagne to escape the summer heat Down on the floor we watch the pressure rise Fixing the cracks and twisting every valve They cut our hazard pay before our eyes Leaving us with a broken floor to salve [Chorus] Oh, we’re burning hot and breaking down the bank (The pressure builds) The rods are up but wages hit the floor For the greedy suits inside the food-chain tank (Who gets the blame?) We make the richest men deserve some more The pressure builds, a terrifying sight They get the billions while we take the blame Baby, we are glowing in the night so bright Trapped inside their corporate money game [Verse 2] The geiger counter taps a steady beat They bought a yacht off all the power made The board of directors jumps up from their seat While all our benefits begin to fade It’s just efficiency! the leaders said We take the hit and breathe a heavy sigh As the warning lights are flashing vital red Watching their stock portfolio go high [Chorus] Oh, we’re burning hot and breaking down the bank (The pressure builds) The rods are up but wages hit the floor For the greedy suits inside the food-chain tank (Who gets the blame?) We make the richest men deserve some more The pressure builds, a terrifying sight They get the billions while we take the blame Baby, we are glowing in the night so bright Trapped inside their corporate money game [Bridge] They say the wealth is going to trickle down Keep on dancing while the atoms split But it’s just uranium flooding out the town We can't afford the healthcare bills for it [Chorus] Oh, we’re burning hot and breaking down the bank (The pressure builds) The rods are up but wages hit the floor For the greedy suits inside the food-chain tank (Who gets the blame?) We make the richest men deserve some more The pressure builds, a terrifying sight They get the billions while we take the blame Baby, we are glowing in the night so bright Trapped inside their corporate money game [Outro] Yeah, we're glowing... Check the spreadsheet, check the dial. Rich man's ledger, poor man's trial. Keep it upbeat! Just another day at the office...
