Going to work every day
Slaving away to survive
Trying to keep to myself, barely alive
To strive is to dream, to dream is a lie, then you fucking die!
Getting a raise from work doesn't matter
We're still broke, a pat on the head to keep us tame
Causing competition and resentment
towards others who don't earn the same
A dollar more...
For high cost of living
A dollar more...
And the struggle continues slightly above the bracket earning
A dollar more...
For high cost of living
A dollar more...
And the struggle continues
"Now we make too much,"
It's not enough!
Slightly above the poverty line
All because we earn 10 more dimes
To ensure that we're at work on time
Continue to struggle because the price of everything has doubled
Social ladders, budget troubles,
mediocre work patterns, dreams are shattered
A raise doesn't even matter because the 1% pockets will always be fatter!

The songs on the latest from Worriers hurtle forward breathlessly, with hook after hook topped by scorching vocal melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 16, 2023
