Cortisol King (Remaster) Lyrics

I'll be dead before I retire

Can't wait to jump on the funeral pyre

I'd give anything to never work again

Toiling in a system built on suffering

I can't see the benefit

Of working while the returns are diminishing

Cortisol cursing, brain cells dying

It's ourselves to whom we're lying

Taste the ground, bend the knee

Get down there, kiss the ring

Had enough of this place

And the whole human race

We've turned survival into torture

Stress is the engine we manufacture

There's no dignity in labour

We slave to gain every favour

With those above, looking down

As we grasp at their crown

Taste the ground, bend the knee

Get down there, kiss the ring

Had enough of this place

And the whole human race

We line the pockets of the opulent

We live to suffer, generate emoluments

While life passes by

We wait for a long while

Wear my crown as cortisol king

And kill every living thing
