Voices of the Unheard Lyrics

Yeah, life in the fast lane, but the tank's running on empty

It's like we're running in circles, but where we headed?

I've been trading dreams for these bills, working non-stop, no thrill

Overtime for that low pay, feels like life's slipping away, for real

Back home, it's just pain, drown it out, but it stays

In a world that just takes, leaving us with the breaks

It's a harsh reality, can't you see? It's breaking you, breaking me

I'm praying for a change, for a break in these chains, set us free

'Cause we're just souls, living where the cold winds blow

Under the thumb of those, rich men north of Richmond, oh

They're pulling strings, in this marionette show

But we see the lies, beneath the highs, the truth we know

We're caught in a game, where the rules are always changing

And the stakes are our lives, it's so deranging

But I know, yeah I know, we're more than what they're saying

They're out there, making laws, but who they for?

Playing god, while the poor keep getting ignored

Streets crying out, filled with despair, people in need everywhere

While the top one percent, just sit back and stare

But we're not invisible, no, we're undeniable

We're the heart of this land, and it's time they realize

Livin' with scars, under these stars, fighting just to survive

While those rich men north of Richmond, live their charmed lives

But we're wise to their games, their disguises, their lies

Our spirit, our fight, our dreams never die

It's a war for our souls, in this twisted role

But we're standing tall, won't let them take control

Been selling my soul, just to pay tolls, but I'm finding my way

Out of the shadows, into the light, we'll make our own day

'Cause we're more than our pay, more than what they say

In this life's long play, we'll break free, come what may
