The Same Sun - Break The Bank Lyrics
Living every day in the hole, I can’t take anymorePunch in, punch outBut I can’t cash that check until the quota’s metSo I’m living in the shadow of a mount of debtHow can I live, how can I sleepWhen I can’t get a dollar so my family can eat?I hate the game, but we gotta surviveSo I’m doing all I can just to keep us aliveThey’ll take a life for a life, it doesn’t matter,If you give them the chance, and they take itThen they’ll give you the knifeOr maybe burn you from the inside outTerminated by a so-called justifiable rightAnd while they’re sitting on their asses all dayWe work our hands to the bone—for what?Even though we know nothing’s ever gonna *****ing changeHow can I live, how can I sleepWhen I can’t get a dollar so my family can eat?I hate the game, but we gotta surviveSo I’m doing all I can just to keep us aliveBut I don’t want to be another face in the massesStill a dog without a bone at the feet of his masterStill picking up the scraps under the tableBut it’s just not enough, no it’s just not enough‘Cause I’m hungry, I need some sustenanceBut I won’t swallow all those liesI’d rather choke on my prideOr else we’ll keep slaving away,And soon we’ll all be dead if we don’t take down the paceOthers choose ignorance rooted in apathyThey’ve taken the baitIt’s so cold when no one wants to walk this path with meBut it’s not too late… Is it too late?Can anybody set me free?Just set me free***** all these tyrantsCut my vocal cords but I’ll never be silencedI’m a soft speaker capable of devastating violenceSo ***** the book, I’ve got a story to tellI’m done shoveling the coals they use to fuel this hellYeah, you broke my bank, well I could break your necksBut you just laughYou think I’m not that coldA revolution made of one manNo pitchfork, no gun—he’s got a pen in his hand
