Do what you want, live how you will Scream independence but you’re life’s fucking over Swear you won’t change, live your own way Won’t compromise, let’s see how far that gets you
Work really hard for the good things in life You think you have balance but your job fucking owns you 401K, Roth IRA You’ll be fucking dead before you ever get them
CHORUS: Sacrifice for your goals Get back up and get knocked back down again Wanna give up, wanna throw in the towel Get back up and get knocked back down again Try and stay focused, how much should I give Get back up and get knocked back down again You’re working yourself straight to death
Nothing is free, I’ll agree with you there They’ve taken your life, what else can you give them Dangle that paycheck in front of your eyes Now we fucking own you, so shut the fuck up!
Get off just in time to go back to work Your time off the clock is always subject to change Prosperity! Security! What’s it all worth for a life based in hell
CHORUS
You're getting violent, you’re scared of yourself Crossing that line, soon you will break Go back to a life of just getting by Not much of a life but at least you have one
Sick with disgust at what you’ve become You can life your own life without compromise Walk into that office, tell your boss to fuck off It’s time to stand up, take your life for your own!
