(Verse 1) Wake up again, same broken alarm Another damn day, same corporate farm Bills on the table, letters in red Feels like I’m working just to stay half-dead They take from my check before I even breathe Call it “for the country,” but I don’t believe I sweat for my pay, then it’s gone in a blink What the hell is left for me to think? ⸻ (Pre-Chorus) They say “it’s normal, it’s how it goes” But I feel robbed down to my bones Every euro gone, every ounce of pride Like I’m slowly being drained inside ⸻ (Chorus) I’m sick of it, sick of the grind Sick of the system eating my mind Taxes, fees, it never ends Feels like I’m working just to pay my penance They suck the life, they kill the spark Leave me shouting into the dark How much more can one soul give? I’m just trying to fuckin’live ⸻ (Verse 2) VAT, income, hidden fees Every damn thing’s got a price to bleed Roads get built but my spirit breaks While they count up all the take they take They smile in suits saying “trust the plan” While I’m just trying to be a man But I feel like a cog in a machine Spinning out in a money dream ⸻ (Bridge) I’m not asking for gold or a crown Just stop dragging my whole life down I work too hard to feel this numb Living life like I’m already done ⸻ (Final Chorus) I’m sick of it, sick of the grind Sick of the system eating my mind Taxes, fees, it never ends Feels like I’m working just to pay my penance They suck the life, they kill the spark Leave me screaming into the dark How much more can one soul give? I’m just trying to fuckin’ live
