Ad Astra - Paycheck Lyrics
I am the one that shows the way out of the greyJust hear the tunes and join this beautiful decayI am the one that gives the goal but when you fallI’m not the one to blame cause you have made the callI’m here to exploit your shortcomings and hideNo big deal as you’ll never see beyond your prideI smell, look and sound the same as you doLike cracks on a window, I’m part of the viewI’ll teach you hatred, hypocrisy and greedYou all just diligently put me on the leadThere was another way, there was another timewhen you could have served your life, but now you all serve minewelcome to my pit I dug to mock your faitha pool where morality’s like a fish caught on a baitNothing’s compulsory like reading at the schoolAnd it’s your fault if you forget that the book was just a toolTo open gates and show the diverse roads aheadyou still chose the one leading to me insteadBy turning on the box and turning off your mindso that’s how on your pitiful ignorance I thriveChorus:My shade lurks there whenever you turn aroundI’ll feed you words my teeth have ground (and spat)I’ll feed and I won’t feel regretAs long as I get my fat paycheck
