I stepped outside,
to live another life I hide,
away from all the pain inside,
of throwing all my dreams aside.
Another page, of living on a low-end wage,
working in a cold, hard cage, swallowing the taste of rage.
The businessmen are smiling, let's keep it that way,
they don't want you to hear them say,
"The money's on the blood, and the blood is on the money,
looks like we found another mindless dummy."
Your body gives out, they kick you down,
you say you can't stay, they keep you around.
Did you forget it's a no-fly zone?
You're grounded, so you can't go home!
Chorus
Breaking out of the shelter,
I'm melting down the bars,
My life's on the line, and I'm falling farther,
I need a second chance!
I've cut away the chains,
I'm not a slave to your hate.
I've got everything to give, so I'll give you hell,
but I've got nothing to sell!
Verse 2
Toxic air,
breathing like you just don't care,
with all of the souless stares,
wondering if you're still here.
Days go by,
they're all the same, you don't know why,
wishing you could dream and fly,
some days wishing you could die.
They say that you're nothing but a waste,
grinding you down and spitting in your face.
"Can't do your job? I know you're not sick enough,
You're spitting blood? I don't care, I'll write you up,
so you better be here, or you'll lose your money,
you've got nowhere else to go, tough luck, sonnie."
If that's how they put a poor man on a street,
then I never wanna be that kind of elite.
Bridge
The night is slowly fading,
the sun is slowly rising.
The sun's out, winter's going,
goodbye clouds, summer's coming.
A generous heart, is a rich mind,
life's an incline I'm willing to climb,
and when I reach the top, I'll grab a mic and say,
"Don't let them get ya, just follow your way!"
I'm out of this hell, I've got everything to give, but nothing to sell.
