lyrics

I know your time is short at hand
Now you’re sleeping wide awake
One blink you slip away
And then it’s time again

You hit a wall at a quarter to three
The air is thicker in the NGZ
The solitary drive a short reprieve
From the sun that never sets on EST

Here come seventeen wheels to crush your neck
Another man supplanted by a replicant
Set forward by the rolling boulder
Of industry to maul you over

I hear the rolling gears

Gains are essential, lives are expendable
Sacrifice is required, till everyone has expired
And those who belong to us, turn the wheels and don't mean much
But if we don't have them, then all of us are essentially fucked

From the panic stricken daydream rush
To the old haunts looking like a Sunday dusk

All fear the unspoken certainty
The invisible enemy
Stripped down, rusting Idle, while all the aristocrats ensure their survival

In days I lost the years

Gains are essential, lives are expendable
Sacrifice is required, till everyone has expired
And those who belong to us, turn the wheels and don't mean much
But if we don't have them, then all of us are essentially fucked

Their gains are made but life's the same for me
My seeds won’t grow like the NYSE

Here come 17 years to fill your head
Brought forward when you’re one year older
This industry will fuck you over

We are essentially fucked

Gains are essential, lives are expendable
Sacrifice is required, till everyone has expired
And those who belong to us, turn the wheels and don't mean much
But if we don't have them, then all of us are essentially fucked
