corporate Lyrics

I feel like I'm on a shelf

Just an object, can't think for myself

Mindlessly droning, always renting never owning

Never ahead, always scraping by

Will I ever see the world?

Constantly treated like a little girl

They're never kind so I'm numbing my mind

Just so I can sleep at night

Told we've got no time to waste

Gotta work more, gotta pick up the pace

They silence our voice and then they rejoice

'Cause we've got no choice

So let's go work for minimum wage

For some rich man who doesn't know our names

He'll use the money we made him to go to space someday

Oh, let's go sell more of our lives

Sucking up to all those corporate ties

Do they really think that we believe their lies

While we scrape by

They say that we're assets to cover their a*****

And they get free passes because of their class

Is that really what we want freedom to be about

('cause we're scraping by)

Paycheck-to-paycheck's not just a phrase when

You have to wait 3-5 days just to see if you have enough for rent

See, your souls are fading with insider trading

And no hesitating while you're utilizing

Cheap or free labor, you think you're their savior

But we're just scraping by

I feel like I'm on a shelf

Just an object can't think for myself

Mindlessly droning, always renting never owning

Never ahead, always scraping by

Will I ever see the world?

Constantly treated like a little girl

They're never kind so I'm numbing my mind

Just so I can sleep at night

So let's go work for minimum wage

For some rich man who doesn't know our names

He'll use the money we made him to go to space someday

Oh, let's go sell more of our lives

Sucking up to all those corporate ties

Do they really think that we believe their lies

While we scrape by (bye!)

Told we've got no time to waste

Gotta work more, gotta pick up the pace

They silence our voice and then they rejoice

'Cause we've got no choice

We're sorry. The number you've dialed is not in service at this time.
